Prescribed Ocupol-D. Comfortable Feel After Using It. Does It Cause Sleeplessness?

Good morning, Doctor. I have been using Occupol-D for more than 4 weeks though my Doctor had prescribed me it for 2 weeks only. The reason is that I don't feel comfort in my eyes without using it and Iam far away from my Doctor. Does it cause sleeplessness? please also suggest me if I should stop it as of now.
Regards, Prabal
