You see, what's so dangerous about insomnia is that it's not an injury like a broken bone or a cut or scrape. Insomnia usually comes on slowly. You may feel that you just had a bad night, or maybe you just brush off the sleeplessness thinking it's nothing, and then it slowly builds and builds. Your insomnia becomes worse and worse. You become more irritable and start to snap at family and co-workers.
And then one day you realize you just aren't the same person you used to be. And that's when you go to your family doctor to get checked out. If you were to go to your family or HMO doctor complaining about lack of sleep, you'll probably hear something along the lines of…”You probably have insomnia. Try these meds and if they don't work, we can try some others.” How many different medications have YOU tried for insomnia???
