Dealing with stress and insomnia is challenging, but I strongly advise against self-medicating. First-line treatments typically involve cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and lifestyle adjustments, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and reducing caffeine. For temporary relief, over-the-counter options like Melatonin may help. However, stronger prescription medications (like certain antidepressants or sleep aids) carry risks of dependency and side effects, and must only be taken under a doctor's supervision. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional to safely evaluate your symptoms and discuss a personalized treatment plan.
