A member asked:

Problems sleeping & when i do sleep im excessively tired no matter how much sleep i get. otc meds do no work. prescibed pain meds do not help. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prevention: Not being able to sleep may indicated sleep problems that can be life shortening or life threatening. The only way to know if there are serious problems is with an overnight sleep test. I encourage you to seek help.
