Don't assume you know what the treatment will be.
Go to a psychiatrist and tell them your issues. They'll run some tests to rule out any low-hanging physiological fruit like anemia and likely recommend getting a sleep study to rule out things like sleep apnea. From there, they'll narrow down the possible causes until they find a solution that will work for you. Might end up being garden-variety insomnia treatable with CBT for insomnia.
