Sleep
Many people are turning to alternative options to help improve their sleep; for some, this may be known as insomnia. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall and stay asleep. This can result in several additional symptoms including:
- Daytime fatigue
- Worsened mood, depression, anxiety
- Increased irritability
- Reduced capacity to focus on tasks and poorer memory
There are limited prescription medication options to treat insomnia and many of these medications have intolerable side effects. Because of this, more individuals are turning to alternative therapies to help them sleep.
Make sure to connect with a knowledgeable pharmacist for a personalized sleep assessment!
