Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and we need to find out the reason for your insomnia. It could be secondary to an illness, related to mind (psychiatric) or a medical illness, when it is called secondary insomnia.

Sometimes, there are no other illness except for sleep disturbance, when it is called primary insomnia.

There are good medications to treat both the conditions.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
