Abhash Ji, You have work shift related sleep disorders. Patient may have sleep inititation (starting) or sleep maintenance problem. Your case usually have problem with 1st one. Sleeping pills esp zolpidem can be taken occasionally however should be under close monitoring of physician. Sleep related disorders are treated by neurologist in Nepal and better for you to consult them. Good sleep hygiene can be maintained even without medication. Meet a neurologist for consultation.
