I couldn't sleep well since my grandmother passed away on the 16th of August. From that day on wards I couldn't sleep. I have sleepless night & could sleep everyday. I hardly sleep. I tried to sleep even my eyes wants to close & sleep but seems like my brain doesn't coperate. Now since I have lack of sleep I started to feel sleepy on daytime but couldn't sleep. Its very hard for me to sleep.

Sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in peace. For the sleeping problems you're having, you need to regularise your sleep-wake cycle.
Next Steps
Following steps could be taken for the same 1. Go to sleep same time everyday and wake up at the same time 2. Avoid afternoon naps , if possible.... or take a power nap of 15-20 min. 3. Avoid caffeine ( coffee ) and nicotine ( tea ) before going to bed. 4. Do not use any electronic device 1-2 hr prior to sleep as they contain blue light which suppresses Melatonin ( hormone responsible for your sleep-wake cycle ). 5. Having a proper meal at night is also an important factor - avoid big meals, do not have any spicy food as they may cause acidity and stomach burns disturbing your sleep. 6. Calm your mind - for which you can have breathing exercises or meditate for 5-10 min. 7. Healthy sleeping environment - no noise, adequate darkness, temperature of the room at around 18-22°C. Thank you for asking. Hope I was able to curb your doubt. Stay blessed. :)
