Suggest Treatment For Insomnia

Hi Doc,,

My name is Robyn and am at the age of 47 and have been suffering from insomnia since bourding school in the 1970's. I go to bed at around 11 at night then by 1.30 or so I am fully awake. Or it feels that I do not sleep at all but my mind or subconcious is constantly thinking of wierd things and not realy stressing. Please help, have tried to take sleeping tablets that my house doctor gave and that too does not help.. I am now at the stage that i am constantly tied durring the day. Could you please give me advice on what to do. reading articles are not realy helping either.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you to exercise rigorously. You should also not worry about the half sleep you get. Half sleep is also sleep for your body. Body will have sound sleep just for two hours. Rest of the sleep hours are almost half sleep hours. If you start worrying about your half sleep period, actually you are becoming anxious, and anxiety will deprive you with that half sleep also. Please consult a psychologist for counseling and advise.

Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
