Hello, It seems that you might be having anxiety and depression and the sleep problems might be related to this. In this case, it is difficult to treat insomnia alone, you need to treat the possible causing condition. If you get treatment for anxiety and depression (same treatment), you might see improvement in sleep amount and quality as well. I would recommend you to see your doctor so he can do a check to rule out anxiety and depression and if you score high for them (questionnaires) he will need to give you treatment with an SSRI drug like paroxetine or citalopram. On the other hand some examinations to rule out other conditions might be good, for example sleep tests (polysomnograme) to rule out sleep apnea and TSH blood test to rule out problems with thyroid as thyroid can affect the way we handle stress. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
