Posted on Fri, 12 Jan 2018
Question: Dear Sir, I have a problem sleeping. I have had it for 40 plus years. I want to stay up until 2. When I was in college and military I would stay up until the sun came up. I get very sleepy in afternoon so much so I feel sick if I don't nap for an hour. This happens with or with out alcohol. I need sleep pills at night to stay on a day time shift. I do not use any caffeine. Should I worry about it? YYYY@YYYY

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having insomnia.

You should definitely consult psychotherapist and start treatment.
Only drugs (sleeping pills) are not effective.
Please let me know
