Brief Answer:
Medications could help you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your query.

Loss of sleep after staying awake for long could be due to disruption of circadian rhythm.

As of now, you could start medications such as zolpidem and melatonin at night. This would help you sleep and also improve your natural sleep-wake rhythm.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
