It could depend on variety of reasons sometimes it could be caused by chronic pain, othertimes it could be due anxiet/depression or physical disability. Sometimes it could be just due to lifestyle factors, eating too late not doing enough during the day, Worrying about what you'vee gotta do all day and ruminating about it. Have i done this? have i turned the grill/oven off, fed the dog, omg I haven't done x at work my boss will be on my back all day and then worrying and thinking your gonna get the sack, lose the house, how am i gonna pay the bills/mortgage. I am shame on my family, worrying about future things that haven;t happened yet as if they have happened or gonna happen.

It's hard to sleep when there are things on your mind that are troubling you, even if you don't realise it! It helps to have a good routine before bedtime, to do breathing / meditation exercises to help you wind down before bed, and maybe keep a diary to help clear your mind :)

It'd be important to take up a mood diary, or download an app for it. Note how you feel each night, and in the morning note if you slept well. Then after a week or so, patterns will start to emerge that you can notice, and then act upon :)

I realized it's because I don't always do things to unwind myself, things that relax the mind such as writing or exercise..

Trouble sleep varies from anxiety all the way to just had a coffee 20 minutes before bed. A great way to find out the source of your sleeping troubles is to keep a sleep journal. Find out the times you fall asleep best and the times you are having the most issues. What are you partaking in before bed? Caffeine, alcohol, prescriptions? A lot of things can influence your sleep try to pinpoint a couple of things you may find keeping you awake and try to adjust from there.

It could be Insomnia, but it doesn't always have to be something like that. We all get stressed, some more often then others. I used to get stressed a lot or worried, anxious, or excited about an upcoming event. It could be many things keeping you up, but if it is repetitive i recommend speaking to someone about it.

How does it exactly show itself? Do you think about anything or do you go to the kitchen to eat? Normally stress causes troubles sleeping but stress is also caused by other reasons.

Because I am stressed over life and it's problems. I am scared of letting people down and failing. I am scared of the changes and uncertainty.

If its not a medical issue that you've discussed with your doctor, it may just be because you're worried and overthinking too much, sometimes my brain does that too, just breathe, think of good thoughts and don't worry about tomorrow just be thankful in the moment you're in now :)
