Hi doctor, I am a female of weight 60 kg and height 176 cm. I have been having extreme trouble with sleeping for about 18 months now. I struggle to get to bed, and when I finally do, I wake up once in one and a half hour or so and feel like the sleep is not a deep one. I feel like I have a restless night sleep every night. I am currently taking 0.5 mg of Cabergoline a week for a benign pituitary gland tumor. My specialist has ruled this out being the cause of sleep trouble. I have tried supplements like magnesium, which did not work. I also have a set bedtime routine to help relax before sleep and limit phone use before bed. I have also tried things like warm milk before bed, which also has little effect. Could you please advise on other causes and possible treatment?
Hello. From your limited history, two plausible causes of your insomnia can be made out. For further information consult a sleep medicine physician online -->
