Dear User,

Thanks for using health care magic.

From the available description it appears that you are having insomnia. This could be a symptom of another disease or primary insomnia where no cause is found.
My advise is stop using alcohol, caffeine or smoking if you are doing it. Secondly follow the pricnciple of good sleep hygiene.
If you do not feel improvement with these two things than you are advised to put a direct query to me. I will try to help you with all possible extent.



'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks
