Brief Answer:
Hi sleep problem can lead to all that you have.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I admire you for positive outlook.
I understand your concern about sleep problem
Now a days in such hard and fast life style everyone has sleep problem during some point of time.
Main reason is stress and work load.
Though there are many other reasons too.
Spinning means vertigo.
Mostly it is due to unable to sleep properly or may be due to other reason like blood presure or weakness cause by difficulty in maintain schedule properly.
Sleep problem lead to unable to do work properly and uunable to maintain concentration.
You should follow sleep hyigene.
Like
Fix sleep schedule and stick on it.
No irregular sleep or no day time sleep.
Light food in dinner.
Exercise at least for 30 min. Daily.
Meditations.
Stress free work and activity.
Do pleasurable activities.
Do hobbies and music.
Use bed only when you feel sleepy.
Read boring book.
All of above is useful to maintain good sleep.
If you have only sleep problem without any stress then tab zolpidam is very useful. I prefer in my patients.
If you have stress then proper evaluation is must.
In such patients I prefer benzodiazapine group of drugs.
Please follow sleep hygiene and if needed then take medicine and proper rest. once when you will have good sleep then all of your problems will go away.
Give break to your work.
Talk to friends and hang out with them.
Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.
Thank you.
