I am unable to sleep at nights. Even if I woke up at 6 in morning, at 11 in night I feel really tired and urge to go to bed. But as soon as I switch of lights I start getting some spooky thoughts and some time even nightmares. This is happening recently quiet a lot of times, sometimes I woke up in middle of night really scared and thus unable to go to bed again? I don't drink or smoke .can you please help me?

Hello lybrate-user. I can see you are having a problem of insomnia. Has this problem started recently or is it happening since many months. Sometimes stress and anxiety can cause sleep disorders and also lead to night mares. You may have to be put on tranquillizers for a few days to resolve your problem. But first it is necessary to know the root cause as these drugs are habit forming and shouldn't be taken for long. For the time being make a routine of some exercise like brisk walking or swimming everyday for atleast 40 mins. This will help to relieve stress. I hope I was able to help you. I you have any other questions please feel free to contact.
