I think you need to meet a Psychologist immediately and share your situations and experiences with them to help to you understand and resolve it at the earliest.

Hello there..... Exercise and stay active. Activity helps promote a good night's sleep... Avoid or limit caffeine and alcohol and don't use nicotine. All of these can make it harder to sleep. Avoid caffeine after lunchtime. Avoiding alcohol can help prevent restless sleep and frequent awakenings......
Stick to a sleep schedule. Keep your bedtime and wake time consistent from day to day, including on weekends.....
