Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are going through a difficult time due to your inability to sleep properly. Now, difficulty in sleeping (known as "insomnia" ) can be due to a variety of causes. Some of the problems causing insomnia are:

- Stress
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Poor sleep habits
- Other medical problems, chronic pain, etc.

Now, the first step in managing insomnia is a detailed assessment to establish the probable cause. Further treatment is then targetted according to the cause. So, I would advise you to see a psychiatrist in your place for a detailed evaluation and further management.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
