Answer:
I have this same issue. It started with being deressed and then staying at home all day makes it even worse. Though I haven't been to the doctor, but for once to get medicine for depression, I just kinda of notice that is the envirnonment and not doing anything about it. You need to move around a little bit more, try exercising even though if it hurts, you body will eventually get used of it. Try going to bed a little early every nite and make sure it is dark without any light. Also, get out and talk with people, meet people, even if it is to stores and look around. The reason for not being able to sleep at night is because you don't make your body tired enough. I'm just beginning to exercise, take walks and it is making me feel good a little. I try every night to go to bed early sometimes it help and sometimes it don't. Don't sleep doing the day, find something to do even if it is to surf the internet just try to stay awake all day. Let me know how you feel.
