At what point should i consider going to the doctor/consider sleep aid medicines?

Question

For like the last 2 months my insomnia has been a beast to deal with. It takes at least an hour plus to fall asleep (more like closer to 2 hours on some nights). Should I go to the doctor? Try out some sleep meds? The one time I tried melatonin it did nothing. Any ideas on some sleep aids/vitamins? 
I already use a diffuser and a weighted blanket but doesn’t really work
Thanks for any ideas!

Answer

If it impacts your day to day and other remedies arent helping, like a weighted blanket, having no interference with screens like tv and phone, playing relaxing music, and others, then you should talk to your doctor. Sometimes over the counter sleeping pills dont help me. And I needed to go to the doctor for help.

Answer

Try a time-released melotonin

Answer

Try Unisom sleep tabs. I use those occasionally. Nothing wrong with them, except I've noticed if I take it late at night and don't sleep long enough, I end up groggy and feeling worse in the morning.
