Sleep Medicine Specialist Questions Insomnia

What can I do with my insomnia?

I'm 30 years old, and I have been experiencing insomnia for about 4 months. I haven't been able to sleep since my mother died and it's been affecting a lot of my daily activities. Is there anything that I can do for this?

This actually has a complex answer and is surely related to the emotional trauma of your parent's death. Possibilities include counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy or even medication. I would start by seeing your family physician. Referral to a psychologist or psychiatrist may be appropriate as well.
Reinforcement. Avoid hypnotics.
