Hi, i'm 17 years old boy and i live in the philippines. i can't sleep early at night 'cause i'm little pre-occupied, it's becoming my habit and i' m afraid for having a no normal duration of sleep. is there any sleeping pills that you can recommend?

You describe a 100% normal sleep pattern at age 17: many or most teens tend to be alert late into the night and need sleep in the morning. It's not just because you're "pre-occupied". Probably it will shift to an adult pattern over the next 2-3 years. A great book has a whole chapter on sleep patterns over the lifespan: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Sleep-Unlocking-Dreams/dp/1501144316
