I find it difficult to sleep

I am a 30-year-old mother of one child. For some time now, I have been having difficulties in sleeping both day and night so much so that I have lost weight. Please, what can I do?

Causes of difficulty with sleeping vary from psychological reasons such as excessive anxiety, recent bereavements, tension and depression to unresolved health issues such as Hypertension, Diabetes, infections among others. You need to check if you have any emotional disturbances that could be responsible for the problem and make efforts to resolve them. If you are sure you don’t have emotional issues, it will then be important to subject yourself for a comprehensive medical examination and treatment in order to get to the root of the problem.
