Insomnia
Your most bothersome problem is that you can't easily get to sleep when you first go to bed. This type of insomnia is known as "initial insomnia."
Sometimes a person is prevented from falling asleep by physical symptoms that may begin after lying down in bed. Physical symptoms can suggest a specific medical problem that may be the cause of your insomnia.
Are you kept awake by a recurring cough, pain in your chest, shortness of breath, or wheezing?
