Chronic sleeplessness

2017-08-25 06:01:55
I'm having a difficult time going to sleep as my mind keeps racing. Although my body is exhausted and needs to rest and rejuvenate, I cannot relax. I feel drowsy and when I'm just about to doze off, suddenly my heart beats faster as if some kind of fear haunts me and then I wake up. I'm not able to carry out my daily activities, please help.

Sleep problems occur due to various reasons. Any treatment/support is based on severity of the problem and associated psychological stress and possible consequent illness. Please consult Psychiatrist for assessment. Best wishes.
