Insomnia: Discuss with you doctor. You may need a sleep study to see if you have sleep apnea or it can be due to hormones shifts, thyroid,pulmonary disease ,sinus, reflux, caffeine,alcohol ,anxiety or medications. Develop a sleep regimen, warm milk ( trytophan), warm bath,quiet dark room, no devices. Consider melatonin or valarian. Discuss with doc/urgent car
