This should not be assumed at the expense of a thorough evaluation at onset but so much of this is by design with our current way of living.
Potential remedies once more serious conditions have been ruled out is regular walks, reconnecting with nature, decreasing screen time and embedding oneself in a sense of community (which will mean different things for different folks).
Humans simply don’t live a balanced lifestyle anymore (especially when it comes to caloric intake and activity). Restoring that balance should be the first step before we start throwing pharmaceuticals around.
Ehh, when it comes to sleep, it probably isn’t so much the screens, as it is the aforementioned back pain and anxiety. The obligatory caffeine taken late at night to stay up and work more and the optional nicotine vape or zyn probably doesn’t help either.
All of which are pitfalls of modern living.
Lack of mobility = back pain
Anxiety = Financial security, work/life balance
Can’t sleep = Looking at a screen all day.

The anxiety is what makes me stay on my screens which allows me to go to sleep. blargh
Back pain, anxiety, and insomnia all predate modern times by a lot. Not that it isn’t worth being conscious of modern balancing efforts.
