Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. If your insomnia is due to stress and anxiety and obsession, there is no need for you take sleep aid medicines. You just are suffering from this problem for two and half months of so. That is reasonable time period. Instead of worrying, you should take this on its stride.

It is not that you are unable to sleep whole night. You do sleep for three or four hours per day, but you don't seem to be fulfilled. Not having sound sleep. You also feel tired during day time. If yo do suffer from sleeplessness for two days, automatically on the third day you will sleep sound. You should understand this pattern and follow it. Slowly body will also understand.

Physical exercise, being creative and entertaining, meditation etc can help you regain your sleep. Please consult a psychologist for counseling and necessary therapy.
