If my insomnia's out of control & my doctor is totally unhelpful, what can i do?

A sleep specialist: is the type of doc you need to see. He/she will probably do a sleep study. A clinical psychologist can also teach you some stress management. Peace and good health.

Sleep hygiene is key: Retire & rise same time each day. Bedroom should be dark & cool - used only for sex & sleep. Turn off tv. No naps. Exercise regularly but not in late evening. No caffeine for 6 hrs & no alcohol or tobacco w/i 2 hrs of sleep. Dinner should be moderate sized & finished at least 2 to 3 hours before sleep. Can try warm milk, chamomile tea or melatonin along w light reading, warm bath, lavender scent.>
