Hi. I appreciate you talking about your concern.
As per your information, consider establishing a sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine, and screens before bedtime, and creating a relaxing and peaceful bedtime routine.
Seek support from friends and family. If issues persist then consult a professional Psychologist for tailored advice and potential therapy and consider techniques like CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy)
