Any reasons why you find it hard to sleep at night? Is the insomnia physical or spiritual?

If it is physical (illness) then i might know of a remedy. For years i struggled with insomnia, many times sending me psychotic, it has been an epic battle. Then a doctor suggested i take a very small amount of an certain anti depressant which other effect is that it makes you incredibly tired. So i take just 7.5 mg of the drug at night before i go to sleep and sleep all night making 8 or even 9 hours a night, it hardly effects me during the day but i sure get a good night sleep.

It is called Mirtazapine if you are interested.

i thank God for His mercies.

Hoping you soon have a good night sleep again.

Thank you. I don't know the origin of this.

You might have delayed sleep phase syndrome.

I find it more natural for me to be up all night and sleep during the day. It's 2:15 AM as I write this on my phone, at work, on my lunch break. I expect to go to bed around 8:30 AM. Even on my nights off, that's my normal sleep pattern.

Sleeping at the daylight hours
I live near an Interstate. It is difficult to sleep some nights. I use over the counter 5 mg melatonin. It is a natural substance produced by the body to cause sleepiness.

Avoid caffeine.

"Some people say it is not of a christian to take pills"

Not Christian to take medications? That's nonsense. The apostle Paul told Timothy to drink wine for his stomach's sake and his frequent ailments (1 Tim 5:3). In Timothy's case, wine was medicinal. Paul didn't tell young Timothy that he should have more faith to be healed. And if Paul could have healed his protégé, I'm sure he would have. In this case, he simply gave him wise advice that included medicine. I know God heals. But he doesn't always. And when he doesn't, availing ourselves of a medicinal aid can be the wisest thing to do.

In the bible tells that jesus rejected some liquid to numb the pain when he was carrying the cross

Jesus is God and while we strive to be as much like him as we can with our walk of faith and good deeds it is impossible to be the Lord. Jesus rejected the Romans who offerred him a bit of wine for the cross to numb the pain, but that was more of a statement of His authority as the Lord God Almighty. Didn't you read the part where Jesus made water into wine at the marriage ceremony? Granted it was likely a weak wine, but every drug we have is a gift from God. Man can't invent drugs. We copy them from nature and tweak them a wee bit.

Try some melatonin in small amounts which is an over the counter supplement. Control your light exposure. During the day time, you want bright blue light to flood your eyes, but at night you want the opposite. Most computer monitors and smart phones have a "night mode" that turns the screen sort of orange because it removes that blue light part of the visible spectrum. I even have orange looking glasses I use at night to filter out the blue. Look up papers on sleep hygiene, which is a term for good sleep behavior. If your schedule is off, see a sleep specialist MD. I've done a thing called chronotherapy where I reset my internal clock by staying up 18 hours then sleeping 9 hours. Wake up 2 days in a row at the same time, then advance your schedule slowly forward using those 27 hour days instead of 24 hour days until you resychronize your schedule with whatever time you desire to be awake vs. asleep.
