I am unable to sleep well at night. What could be the reason?

I am a 38 year old man, and for the last one month I have been unable to sleep well at night. I work long hours and feel very tired. Ideally the minute I crash on the bed I should be off to sleep, however that is not the case. Could stress be the cause of my sleeplessness? Please advice.

Hello. Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, findatopdoc.com mistakenly sent your question to a gastroenterologist. I don't have expertise in sleep disorder. Sorry that I cannot help you.

I suggest that you inform findatopdoc.com that they have made a mistake and hopefully they can get your question to the appropriate type of doctor.

Good luck!

There are several causes of sleeplessness or insomnia. An over-stressed lifestyle can be one of those several reasons. You may want to try an over-the-counter sleep aid for a few days, but if those don’t work, then schedule a checkup with your doctor.
