There are several ways that insomnia can present itself, so even if you get the necessary eight hours of sleep each night, insomnia could still be the root of your daily sluggishness and fatigue.
The good news is that you can usually treat insomnia on your own, without the help of a sleep doctor or using prescribed or over-the-counter sleeping medications, by making simple lifestyle adjustments.
You may stop getting frustrated by insomnia and ultimately achieve a good night’s sleep by dealing with the underlying issues and making little improvements to your normal schedule and sleeping environment.

I am 76 years old. I had triple by-pass surgery in July of 2019 in which my esophagus was damaged when they had to inject a breathing tube since my lungs were being by-passed. Then I have had three major disabling strokes. I seemed to be recovering and I had another stroke that has made me re-dependent on my walker. The insomnia was evident while I was in the hospital so they gave me narcotic level prescription. Eventually I stopped that and switched to a variety of OTC supplements especially Melatonin.
