Insomnia of any duration needs to be evaluated to understand the cause behind it. Simply taking sedatives is not the solution. Please consult a psychiatrist to understand the reason for your insomnia and take the appropriate treatment.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist for a full work up.
Health Tips
Do not self medicate with sleeping tablets or alcohol.
