You are suffering from chronic insomnia.Hypnotics should not be taken for longer time ( Max 4 weeks). You should go for sleep hygiene measures like avoid sleeping day time , avoid alcohol, avoid smoking, and caffeine evening time.walk for 20min daily , should not be fasting before going to bed.See that your ambience is fine, temperature of room not so hot.Consult your neurologist to r/o medical, neurolgical, and psychiatric disorder. Also go for relaxation and biofeedback methods
