I have difficulty sleeping even after following my doctor’s advice. What should I do now?
Since the initial advice has not helped, it is important to revisit your doctor for a reassessment to rule out underlying conditions such as sleep apnoea, anxiety, or restless leg syndrome. You may benefit from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia or an adjustment of your current medications. Keeping a sleep diary for 2 weeks can help your doctor understand your sleep patterns, bedtime habits, and possible triggers. It is also important to avoid stress, screen use before bedtime, caffeine intake, and irregular sleep schedules, as they can significantly affect sleep quality.
