Can stress and lack of sleep cause brain cells to die and as a result ms someday? any non-prescription meds to help stay asleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ref: Time magazine: I think you'll find your answers best addressed by a well-researched recent article in Time magazine about sleep disorders, nightmares, and post-traumatic stress. I recommend after reviewing the article that you ask your physician to direct you to the local sleep medicine specialist who can provide diagnostic and therapeutic options.
