Insomnia: At age 44, insomnia can be due to anxiety, depression, alcohol use, side effect of medications, or medical condition. Stresses of relationships, marriage, unresolved conflicts, children leaving home, change in physical health can cause anxiety, depression and insomnia. Please see a psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment of insomnia. Breathing relaxation, visual imagery, and meditation are useful.
