Take tab alprazolam 0.25mg one at bed time and get a sound sleep. Avoid taking it frequently, as it can be habit forming.
Take tab paracetamol 500mg one for the bodyache.

Avoid excess of tea, coffee.
Learn and practice relaxation techniques.

This may be due to acute sleep deprivation, overwork, circadian rhythm disturbance, physical and mental exhaustion, electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, vitamin D and B12 deficiency, thyroid disorders, or hypoglycemia. You should visit the clinic so we can take your detailed history and examine you properly. Based on the evaluation, we will advise appropriate investigations, medications, and lifestyle modifications including exercise.

Hi dear,

Next Steps
practice sleep hygiene, de-stress yourself with mindful thinking, meditation and pranayama, consume daily meals as usual that would promote parasympathetic tone of body.
Health Tips
In early evening, dim the lights and consume a sublingual dose of melatonin strip usually available over-the-counter now a days. That will soothe your stress and doze you off to peaceful sleep soon. Hope that helps!

"Working for nearly 24 hours straight—from a regular morning shift into an all-night audit—has caused severe Acute Sleep Deprivation. Your symptoms of 'no sleep' despite being tired, red eyes, and migratory body pains are classic signs that your body is stuck in a 'hyper-arousal' state. Your brain is struggling to switch from the stress of work to a restful state, a condition often seen in shift-work sleep disorder.
Next Steps
Darken Your Room: Use blackout curtains or an eye mask. Melatonin, the sleep hormone, is only produced in total darkness.
Warm Shower: Taking a warm bath before bed can help drop your core body temperature afterward, which signals to your brain that it’s time to sleep.
Avoid Screens & Caffeine: Do not use your phone or drink coffee/tea for at least 4 hours before your intended sleep time. The blue light from screens will further suppress sleep hormones.
Short-term Aid: If you still cannot sleep after 24 hours of resting, you may consult a doctor for a very short-course (1-2 days) of a mild sedative or Melatonin supplement to reset your cycle.

This can happen as your body have suffered from a stress reaction suddenly that it isn't used to.
It is one of body's defense systems.
You can try something soothing which suits you like light music, fragrance, a good bath in order to signal your brain that you are in a relaxed mode right now so that it sends signals for sleep
Next Steps
You can also take one dose of benzodiazapine medicine which will help relax you .
