Evaluation: Can't be sure without a thorough history and exam, but you should see a dr. To rule out some potential causes of your sleep issues. Sleep study, fibromyalgia , chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. You might consider keeping a diary of what you eat and activities throughout the day and see if there are some clues when you do sleep better.
