Please refer to the detailed answer below

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Losartan belongs to ARB class of anti-hypertensives and works very well in most of the patients.

Insomnia or lack of sleep is not a known or documented side effect of it. Lack of sleep could be because of your stress or anxiety.

I would like to suggest you to start some meditation as it will help you in many ways and do maintain healthy lifestyle habits.

Hopefully this will be helpful. Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
