No, would need a: Comprehensive sleep history and possibly even a polysomnogram to tell you that. Try these sleep hygiene tips. If they are not helpful then please see your physician. 1. Keep regular bed ; wakening time (includes weekends). Get up same time daily. 2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine: warm bath or shower, aromatherapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool >.

Insomnia: Inability to fall asleep is called insomnia but not able to maintain sleep could have other causes. Obstructive sleep apnea. Leg movement disorder or poor sleep hygiene . So you see sleep specialist. No caffeine related product after 2 pm. No chocolate after 2 pm. No exercise late evening. Drink some milk 1 hr before sleep. See if it helps.
