Sleep.hygiene is the first step, if it does not help then medications to normalize sleep neurotransmitters in sleep centres can be safe option. Consult an astute psychiatrist and seek remedy. Good luck

Stress, overthinking, depression, chronic pain, bad sleep habits, and medical problems like sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome are some of the reasons of insomnia (inability to fall or stay asleep). Long periods of screen time, erratic sleep patterns, and excessive caffeine or alcohol use are examples of lifestyle issues that can also lead to Insomnia or irregular sleep patterns.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist if the issue is too bothersome, melatonin supplements or other needed prescription may be used in some situations, although long-term dependence is not advised.
Health Tips
Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), stress reduction approaches, or lifestyle changes including sticking to a regular sleep schedule, making a cosy sleeping environment, and avoiding stimulants are all part of effective sleep hygiene management.
