Hello, Thanks for the query I understand your concern You need a detailed evaluation to understand the cause of the sleep problem. This can be due to stress, tension, anxiety and other coexistent medical problems. Before you start medications for these issues, I feel that you need a detailed examination to establish the diagnosis. In the mean time adequate sleep hygiene is required i.e. go to bed when you feel sleepy, go to bed at a particular time of the night, avoid coffee at night, use the bed room only for sleep. If these fail medications like Zolpidem will help Please get back if you need any additional information Best wishes -- Dr Gopal Krishna Dash., MD(Medicine)., DM (Neurology).,Post-doctoral fellowship (Epilepsy) Consultant Neurologist & Epileptologist Narayana Hrudayalaya Multispeciality Hospital Bangalore http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-gopal-krishna-dash/64344
