Suffering from Insomnia
I've been unable to sleep during night for an extremely longer period now. Even if I'm dead tired, I can't manage to get a nice sleep. This is affecting me mentally & taking a toll on my health as well. My whole routine has been messed up. I can't afford to go on like this.

Hello sir, Sorry to hear about your trouble. A lot of time it does happen that people who have  long standing illnesses like allergies and are taking regular medicines, tend to develop insomnia. There are a few queries that I have regarding your condition: 1. Do you smoke or take alcohol or have tried sleeping pills? 2. What is more affected- falling asleep, maintaining sleep or waking up before intended time? 3. Do you also feel sad or low, feel a lack of energy, have lost interest in activities you enjoyed earlier, feel a lack of self confidence? 4. Do you snore when asleep, or move legs in bed, or talk or grind teeth while sleeping? 5. Do you feel sleepy during the day? After all these aspects of your sleep are assessed, will a psychiatrist be able to help you the best. You may or may not need medicines, but there are behavioral changes like sleep hygiene that will definitely help you. Pls feel free to contact me for a private consultation. Regards!
