Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX,

Thanks for writing to us.

You seem to be suffering from insomnia.

Insomnia (sleep disturbance) are of two types:

1. Primary: There is problem of only sleep disturbance and no other physical or psychological problem is there. In this case treatment for sleep problem is needed.

2. Secondary: There is some underlying physical or psychological problem which is responsible for sleep disturbance. In this main treatment is done for underlying problem.

First of all try to follow some measures called 'sleep hygiene' which would help in sleep. You can find the same in below link.

Drinking a cup of warm milk before going to bed helps in 30-40% of patients and they do not need medicines as per my clinical experience.

Provide more information so I can help you more.

- Since when problem is there?

- How did problem begin?

- What unusual thoughts are there during sleep time?

- Is there any physical or psychological problem?

- What is problem in sleep? Initiation difficulty, break up sleep or early morning awakening?

I will be happy to help after your response.
