What could be the problem if a small HVAC unit located in the attic is not able to keep the upstairs cool on very hot days?

Several possibilities: has it always been this way or is this something new, in which case the unit may not be operating properly....dirty clogged filter? Low coolant? Does the air seem to be moving? If its always been this way the unit may be undersized. Is the attic properly insulated? Regardless, adding more may help.

What can cause sleeping problem in just one room of my new house?
You don't state the problem you are having, but chances are that you are nodding off and something is waking you. It could be a strange sound (attic? neighbors?), a flashing light from outside, or just being in a new place. You could change the placement of your bed to see if that makes a difference.
Why won't my upstairs AC unit cool?
Because hot air rises. As your A/C unit kicks out cool air, that cool air makes its way downstairs, while the warm air downstairs rises to the upstairs. You could try closing a door at the top of your stairway to prevent the downstairs warm air from making it upstairs. Or try cracking an upstairs window if it is located near the ceiling to let warm air escape outside. The brute force solution is to buy more A/C units. The most efficient solution is to spend more time downstairs than upstairs.
