Sleep specialist: Initially, you should see your primary care doctor for evaluation of nutrition or cardiopulmonary problems but then you can see a specialist in sleep medicine. They will be able to review all the possible causes, do the appropriate tests, and then recommend the most applicable treatment.

Sleep disorder tx: Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia is considered the most effective treatment especially if the insomnia is chronic. This is a specialty area and you will probably want to look for a Psychologist with sleep disorder expertise.
