Understanding Insomnia
Insomnia can include psychiatric or medical conditions like depression, anxiety, substance abuse disorders, restless legs syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, and other chronic medical conditions. Medications, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol can also cause the development or persistence of insomnia. There are some common drugs like decongestants, anti-depressants, antihistamines, and others that can cause sleep disruption or insomnia. Before stopping any medication, however, it is imperative to discuss your concerns with your primary doctor first.
