Why is it I could fall asleep at the drop of a hat all day, but at night I can't get to sleep?

Question

It doesn't seem to matter whether I fight the urge to sleep during the day or not, I am just SO unable to get to sleep at bed time. Even when I do go to sleep I can't stay asleep!
I don't stay in bed sleeping late.
I am active through the day.
Yes, I have got plenty of things to worry about, but I'm not exactly "thinking" about them all night.
I'm a 49 year old female.
I have many health problems and am on a whole host of medicine.
I've tried malatonin, but it only "works" sometimes.
