A member asked:

Would it be recommended to to take 2 or more sleep aids every night?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prevention: Not being able to sleep may indicated sleep problems that can be life shortening or life threatening. The only way to know if there are serious problems is with an overnight sleep test. I encourage you to seek help.
