Hello,
You are in early stages of insomnia and this is all probably due to your stress and anxiety. And lack of sleep aggravates these things. You should practice sleep hygiene.
Sleep as long as necessary to feel rested (usually seven to eight hours for adults) and then get out of bed
Maintain a regular sleep schedule, particularly a regular wake-up time in the morning
Try not to force sleep
Avoid caffeinated beverages after lunch especially during evening hours
Avoid alcohol near bedtime (eg, late afternoon and evening)
Avoid smoking or other nicotine intake, particularly during the evening
Adjust the bedroom environment as needed to decrease stimuli (eg, reduce ambient light, turn off the television or radio)
Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens (laptops, tablets, smartphones, ebooks) before bedtime
Resolve concerns or worries before bedtime
Exercise regularly for at least 20 minutes, preferably more than four to five hours prior to bedtime.
Avoid daytime naps, especially if they are longer than 20 to 30 minutes or occur late in the day
You should get prescribed tab Escitalopram 10 mg bedtime for two weeks which will take care of symptoms.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
