Nothing to worry about this.. one tamil proverb philosophically says....sleep is similar to death and awakening again is rebirth..
So.. first stop worrying about this... then feel free and comfortable about your life and do your day today work with full involvement.
Incase your not able to accept in this way?..struggling!..then consult a psychologist.

I can understand what you might be going through. It might be hard for you to distract yourself from the depressing thoughts. You might be feeling hopeless and low. Your productivity has gone low due to your sleep problem as well as sadness. There might be reasons behind it. Some you might know, and some you may not know.
Don't worry, consult a good psychologist or a therapist as soon as possible.
You can also contact me and I will try to help you towards your recovery. Let's discuss your issues in detail so that you can find your own solutions.
Take care. Stay safe and strong. Everything will be alright. You got this!
