How To Get Proper Sleep While On Medication?
Age: 22 Height: 5'11" Weight: ~170 lbs. Medical history: nothing relevent I haven't gotten more than 4, 5, maybe 6 hours of sleep every night going on four years now. Even taking 5mg of alprazolem (xanax) doesn't make me sleepy in the slightest. Is this worth pursuing by going in a doctor in person?

Hello
You should visit a doctor as your description suggest that you have become tolerant to xanax.
You must avoid daytime naps.
Donot take alcohol tea or coffee in evening.
Practice light relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation.
Hope this helps.
