I cannot sleep

Question

I cannot sleep

Asked for Female, 23 Years

Every night I go to bed at 12 trying to sleep. Even though I am exhausted I can't be peaceful and fall asleep. I fall asleep late around 4 am and wake up early too. I have negative thoughts haunting my mind all night. Suggest something I can eat or do before bed.
