How to deal with insomnia due to stress?

Hello doctor,

I have been having trouble sleeping lately, which might be due to all the stress I have been dealing with at work. It is like my mind just will not shut off, and I end up tossing and turning all night. I am starting to worry about how this lack of sleep is affecting my mental health. Can you explain how insomnia and sleep disorders like this can impact mental well-being, especially when it is related to work stress? I have tried a few things to help me sleep better, like cutting back on caffeine and establishing a bedtime routine, but nothing seems to be working. Are there any other strategies or treatments you would recommend for someone dealing with insomnia caused by stress?

Thank you.
