Hi.

I understand your concern .

Treatment of psychological disorder can help you to achieve sound sleep.

Psychological illness like stress and anxiety and depression are associated with insomnia.

Treatment of insomnia only can not help.

Proper psychological evaluation and treatment of underlying psychological disturbances can help.

It can be treated with medicine like combination of mirtazapine and benzodiazapine.
Mirtazapine is antidepressant but in low dose very helpful for insomnia along with benzodiazapine .
Take advise from your treating doctor .
Consult psychiatrist and get further assistance .
Go for psychological evaluation and treatment .

I hope I have answered your question .

Thank you .
I find this answer helpful
