See your MD: If it's painful enough to keep you from sleeping then I would recommend seeing a Dr as soon as you can. If it's your stomach, I would be concerned about a peptic ulcer. If it is not your stomach, but the lower left abdomen (some people use stomach and abdomen synonymously) it could be your colon. Would need to have a physical exam to determine which, and what the proper treatment should be.
