Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to stress and anxiety. Sleep hygiene also should be kept to have proper sleep. Taking anxiolytics like stress nil for long term is not good. It can cause addiction. Avoid coffee, caffeinated drinks and tea after afternoon time. Don't sit or lie down on bed for any thing other than sleeping. Don't take more water at night time. Have enough exercise during day time. You can take some thing to read before sleeping but avoid watching television and computer before sleeping. If all these not helping then a consultation with a psychologist should be done for counselling.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
