When work stress bleeds into bedtime, your nervous system remains stuck in high alert mode. To fall asleep you need to offload.
Next Steps
You can add these to practice before going to bed:
-practice deep breathing through nose and exhale slowly through your mouth
-shut your laptop off, change into comfortable clothing and take a small walk before going to bed
-eliminate stimulants like caffeine before your intended bedtime and reduce screen time before sleeping
-avoid work emails, high stakes communication before sleeping and dim ambient lighting
If these measures don’t help you then please take a detailed consultation.

This is classic work-stress insomnia - mind stays switched on even after you lie down, so sleep gets delayed and shallow. At 23 there is nothing sinister here, but poor sleep will hit your concentration and stomach next. No screens for an hour before bed, fixed wake-up time even on weekends, no coffee after 4 pm, and 20 minutes of brisk walking daily. If it has been going on for weeks with low mood or panic-like episodes, that needs treating properly, not with sleeping pills bought over the counter.
Next Steps
Start sleep hygiene from tonight and keep a simple sleep diary for 2 weeks. If sleep is still broken, book an online consult with me on Practo and we will sort out the stress part properly.

Okay.. I've understood your problem 90%.
Just don't sleep today.
Tomorrow don't sleep in the daytime at all.
Take cue from the Sun 🌞 which does not take any rest between sunrise and sunset. Even after that.
Tomorrow at 8 pm, take one tablet of clonazepam (0.5 mg)..... Have dinner b/w 8.30-9 pm.
After dinner take a 15-20 minutes' Stroll, at leisurely pace. Introspect about the day.
Come back.
Take a glass of milk (optional)
Switch your mobile (around 10 pm)
Lie in your bed
Lights out
Don't even think about the phone and internet.
Plan to wake up @ Brahma-Muhurt (search Google about its benifits & it's timing)
Take bath between 8 to 9 am.
Rest everything will be fine....it is bound to follow.
Best of luck 👍🏻
