Hi

How are you doing?

It seems that you are suffering from some kind of depressive disorder due to which you are unable to sleep or feel that you have no ambitions. These are some negative thinking patterns indicative of depression.

Several factors are responsible for a disturbed sleep such as medical problems, stress, depression, anxiety, medications and poor sleep hygiene.

You should practice good sleep hygiene such as going to bed at a regular time, keeping your bedroom dark and cool, avoiding any naps in between or watching TV in bedroom and getting out of bed if not getting sleep and then again trying after sometime.

I would advise you consult your physician or a sleep therapist for a complete evaluation. It is important to detect the underlying cause of insomnia and rule out any medical or psychological cause. He might prescribe some anti-depressants or mood elevators or advise a sleep study (polysomnogram). Sometimes cognitive behavioral therapies are also helpful.

All these would surely help restore your sleep cycle and make you feel better.

Take care!
