When you can’t seem to fall asleep or stay asleep, it’s tempting to reach for melatonin supplements. Wondering if melatonin supplements put you at risk for health problems is a fair question, especially if you have heart failure.

Early in her career, neurosurgeon Aviva Abosch, MD, PhD, began receiving surprising feedback from Parkinson’s patients on whom she had operated. “They would come back to my clinic and say, ‘Thanks for your help with my tremor, but I really want to thank you for helping my sleep.'"

I have had issues with excessive tiredness for many years. I started using methamphetamine and have way more energy. I know it's awful and I need to quit but I'm terrified of going back to sleeping 10 to 14 hours. What options are there?

Is there anything I can do to learn how to wear a C-Pap properly? I am so claustrophobic that I’m unable to even want to go in for a sleep study.

If sleep is eluding you, you are not alone. Trouble sleeping is one of the top complaints doctors hear from their patients.
