Hi there,
A detailed medical and psychiatric history is needed in every case and also there’s need for MSE (Psychiatric evaluation) of the case to come for the diagnosis and management of the case accordingly.

At your age, stressors can cause impairment of the sleep.
Sleep hygiene is also recommended.

Take about 2 hours of gap between dinner and sleep time.
Do go to toilet before you go to sleep.
Relax your self with positive thoughts before you sleep.
Avoid Tv and electronics before you sleep.
Go for relaxation exercises and Yoga relaxation.

Thank you for your question. I am sorry for your discomfort. Sleep impairment can be caused due to multiple reason and the most primary one being lack of sleep hygiene.
I would recommend you to have a detailed evaluation over instant consultation or contact me otherwise.
