Suggest Treatment For Insomnia

I have gained 20 pounds in two years in spite of improved diet and starting Crossfit 3 times a week and running 3-4 miles twice a week. I also suffer from insomnia and am often barely able to stay awake. Recently my finger nails have become very brittle and are breaking at the slightest touch. Does any of that add up to something?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You said "I also suffer from insomnia and am often barely able to stay awake". Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is characterized by difficulty falling and/or staying asleep.

Hypersomnia, or excessive sleepiness, is a condition in which a person has trouble staying awake during the day.

If you exercise regularly, live stress free and be healthy you will definitely be able to sleep or be awake without any problem. Consult a psychologist. Take care.
