Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are going through a difficult time due to your inability to sleep properly. Now, difficulty in sleeping (known as insomnia ) can be due to a variety of causes. Some of the problems causing insomnia are: - Stress - Anxiety - Depression - Poor sleep habits - Other medical problems, chronic pain, etc. Taking a sleeping pill alone is not the solution for insomnia. Rather, the most important step in managing insomnia is a detailed assessment to establish the probable cause. Further treatment is then targetted according to the cause. So, please consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further advise.
