Hi
You are feeling stressed and it is affecting your sleep. I understand it can be uncomfortable to not be able to sleep well at night. You can talk about what is stressing you out in detail with a psychologist. A psychologist will guide you on how to manage stress that can help you sleep well.
You can consult a doctor about sleeping medication.

Irregular sleeping is due to stress. You can learn how to handle your stress in a adaptive way. On the other hand without consulting psychiatrist or physician using sleeping pill is not recommend.

It is those thoughts which you are unable to handle or fix it could be the reason for your stress.
It is better to learn how to handle those stress than to suppress it with medicines..

Hi... Counselling is the best way to deal with stress and sleep issues. Taking a medication is always a choice but not a healthy one. Gradually our body adapts to these anti-anxiety medication (used as sleeping pills) and they may stop being effective after a while, especially if the cause of your stress and anxiety is more psychosocial in nature.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Sleep Hypnosis will be effective.
