Brief Answer: details below Detailed Answer: Hello Human body needs 6 to 8 hours of sleep. This may be fulfilled at any time of day or night. Our biological clock is set according to our work pattern. probably you were remaining awake in night for work or some other season. Also you are taking adequate sleep in day, so in night you don't get sleep. Try to change this pattern. Remain awake by keeping yourself busy in day. Do this for 3 to 4 days, your biological clock will be reset and you will get good sleep in night. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
