Why can't I fall asleep at night?

I'm a 24-year-old, male, and I cannot sleep at night. This has been happening for 2 straight weeks. I've tried some over-the-counter remedies in the past (mainly melatonin), but none of them have seemed to help me. Should I see a doctor?

Do you have a lot of stress in your life at present?? I do think you should discuss your worries with a doctor and make sure you have not watched or read a very exciting or loud book or movie just before bed.
Insomnia has different causes including anxiety and other sleep problem like restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea. If it is only 2 weeks i will recommend to talk to your pcp who can give you a medication to help if not improving for 3 months you need to see sleep specialist
