Suggest Treatment For Stress And Sleeplessness
Please, I can't get a full 7-8 hours of sleep. I wake up in two hourrs and have trouble going back to sleep. I'm depressed all the time and I am anxious about an exam. What do I do? I'm not taking caffiene or sleeping at different times, etc. so I don't need advice like that.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Depression and anxiety might reduce and disturb sleeping patterns, or they might occur secondary to sleep disturbances.
The things might improve if you try relaxing a bit. It good you are not taking caffeine and are maintaining a sleep routine.
Try practicing sleep hygiene techniques. For further help, visit a psychiatrist.
Hope this helps.
