Hi there,
A detailed medical and psychiatric history is always needed and so is mental status examination for every case.
Medical illnesses like few days fever can have short term sleep problems and some of drugs may also have effects affecting the sleep.
“Sleep hygiene “ may help in your case.
Take a healthy diet.
Take dinner about 2 hours before the bed time.
Sleep with minimal noises and light around
Don’t drink tea or coffee in the late evening.
Go for relaxation exercises like Yoga relaxation.
Be positive in your thoughts.
You will be found a better out come
If not Di take the advice of a mental health professional.
