M south indian.can missing ocd tablets for days affect sleeping?will continuing medicines without missing help me get back my regular sleeping cycle?

Probably yes: If you have not taken your OCD medication for several days, you could very well have any group of withdrawal symptoms, and insomnia is common. Restarting your medication, and staying on it, would most likely resolve the problem. Please consult with your treating physician to get this checked.
