Answer: Best thing you can do is go see a doc.However, there are a lot of things that interrupt sleep - including STRESSIf you are on medication that causes sleeplessness, please check the side effects of any meds you are on.Drinking alcohol interrupts your sleep.Anything with caffeine should be avoided before bed - coffee, tea, pop, chocolateYou should NOT do ANYTHING in your bedroom but SLEEP! Believe it or not, things like reading or watching TV give your body the signal that being in bed is a time to be awake, so stop doing stuff like that.GET DAILY EXERCISE - it helps you sleepIf you want to try something herbal, buy some Melatonin at the drug store, and take it before you lay down for a full night's sleep. I have boughts of insomnia - but Melatonin can really help. And it's herbal, so it's non-addictive and really has no side effects. please consider it.Sometimes you just go through stressful periods in your life, or you have a hard time sleeping. It doens't mean you have a disorder. You should try some melatonin, or try doing Yoga before bed - do things to relax yourself before you go to bed. These should help. Believe me... I went 6 months with NO SLEEP - it didn't take me 1-2 hours to fall asleep, it never happened. I got a LOT of cleaning done in the wee hours of the night, but I was a zombie all day.
