Many choices: The first thing is to understand what is making it hard for you to sleep well. Medical problems, medication side effects, a primary sleeping problem like sleep apnea, the misuse of drugs or alcohol, and/or emotional conditions can all affect sleep. It's best to start with your primary care provider, who can help you clarify the next step.
