How do i learn more about emotional trauma causing maintenance insomnia? my doctor said that the pineal gland stops allowing someone to sleep if there has been severe emotional trauma. i want to read more about this process and the causation?

It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
