2. Sleep prevents diabetes:
Studies have suggested that people who usually sleep less than five hours a night have an increased risk of having or developing diabetes.
3.Infertilty:
Difficulty conceiving a baby has been claimed as one of the effects of sleep deprivation, in both men and women.

Do not start any medicine as of now. You can try some lifestyle changes as of now. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation. Avoid caffeine containing beverages especially at bedtime. If these fails you might require pharmacological therapy. Consult a physician and he will guide you accordingly.
