A member asked:

What could my doctor and i do about such severe insomnia? i have tried everything i can think of and all suggestions i've found online. thanks

Insomnia: Your problem needs a clinical evaluation by a specialist and you also might needs sleep studies. The only information that you are presenting here is age and "insomnia" which is not enough for a decision. Please find a sleep specialist in your area.
