Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,

Inability to get proper sleep is called Insomnia and is a sleep disorder in which there is an inability to fall asleep or to stay asleep as long as desired.

Do you experience difficulty sleeping?
Do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep?
Insomnia is short term less than 3 weeks and long term more than 3 weeks.

Insomnia patients turns to sleeping pills, which can help when used occasionally but may lead to substance dependence or addiction if used regularly for an extended period
In your case it is related to anxiety regarding financial trouble hence once your problem is sorted out your sleep will be normal.

You can consult Psychiatrist and take anti anxiety medicine for short period after taking proper prescription.

Yoga and meditation reduce stress and helps.
Hope this helps.
take care.
Good Luck.
