Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
It could be due to an acute stress reaction. You should try taking some benzodiazepines like alprazolam or clonazepam for sleep for a few weeks. There after the sleep cycle will improve.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
