I know it can be really difficult to confront a roommate about a problem you are having with them--however, in this case, it is truly a matter of health. If you are having trouble sleeping, then it is going to bleed [and, from the sound of it, has already started to bleed] into your daily capability to function. Therefore, it is encroaching on your lifestyle, your success in school...etc. That is shit you don't have to stand for.
Maybe you can talk to your roommate and initiate some sort of "computer curfew"--like, after midnight [or a time you two choose], she has to either stop playing the video games/being on her computer, or she has to take it elsewhere. Her laptop is portable--your bed [and sanity!] are not.
I know it's hard to put your foot down about things like this--God, it's hard for me--but I have started to really insist on things that I know will be helpful to my mental health. Because I deserve it. And so do you.

I know you don't want a confrontation, especially when your roommate could take things the wrong way (b/c I know she can), but this really is something you need to do. Jenny's curfew idea sounded great -- and doesn't she at least have some headphones for the music problem?
