What can a doctor do to cure my insomnia?

Depends really: Insomnia can be primary- a simple problem in and of itself or secondary to a medical or psychiatric illness. Thus, what to do depends on what the correct diagnosis is. Ruling out medication, alcohol or drug side effects, medical conditions and then follow up for sleep hygiene or some techniques offered by clinical or health psychology: http://cpancf.Com/articles_files/insomniabasicguide.Asp.

Evaluation: In some cases, insomnia is related to sleep related breathing disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea. The memory of a person is that they are not asleep when in reality, they are going in and out of sleep due to this disorder. This is the case 40-60% of the time in insomnia and 70% in post menopausal women who report insomnia. You should discuss this with your doctor.
