Dr. Ruth Seaman answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

See a doctor: The assessment and treatment options for Insomnia is not binary, meaning there are a great many different factors which can contribute to sleep problems. Rather than seeking more and more powerful sleep agents, it is often worthwhile to seek care with a doctor who can assist you with this.
