What Causes Sleeplessness With Insomnia?
I am a 60 yr old man who has insomnia. I have just been checked for sleep apnea but that was negative. I just simply have always had trouble sleeping and it s getting much worse. I have not slept for over 2 days now and I m dead tired. What can I do?

Hello
You can follow sleep hygiene practices:
Avoid daytime naps.
Donot take heavy fatty meals at bedtime.
Avoid tea alcohol coffee after evening time.
Take warm water bath and have a glass.
Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation.
If these tips does not work, drugs like zolpidem and ativan (prescription drugs) can help.
Thanks
