Because of this coding information we know that insomnia is one of the most common problems in a Family Physician's office. Ask any pharmacist and you will also find that selling sleep aids is also big business. The reasons vary with each person but the things that help one sleep better can be used by everyone. Worry, depression, pain, and medications are the chief reasons most people have trouble sleeping.
Lets discuss medications, first.
Many medications contain caffeine or decongestants that can keep people from sleeping well, if they are taken too close to bedtime. The only way to know for sure is to look at the label. Caffeine is easy because it is usually listed that way. Decongestants have various names but the box or label usually has the word decongestant somewhere. All decongestants can be stimulating and cause one to feel nervous.
