Hello Meena,
This irregular timing of going to bed can disturb your sleep-wake cycle and thus may lead to insomnia.
Now if you are unable to sleep for whole night at al, you can take tab Zolpidem 5mg when you are unable to sleep. This might cause hangover initially for some days in the morning. But its safe and is not habit-forming.
Thanks.
