Sleepless nights can leave you feeling tired and irritable the next day and adversely affect your memory and concentration. Insomnia or the inability to fall and / or stay asleep occurs in both acute and chronic forms. It may be related to an underlying illness that interferes with sleep, for e.g., asthma, arthritis and depression, or may occur with no associated illness. Whatever the cause or duration of your insomnia, it is advisable that you seek a doctor’s help. Popping sleeping pills without a good medical evaluation can have side effects and they may not work for you for long
