Hi, I am 52 years old (male) and am unable to sleep undisturbed for 8 hours. I get more than 2 or 3 times and lie awake for long periods. On a good day I will get up by 4 am. Normally I get up at 2 am and 4 am and finally I am up by 5.30 am. I do have mild hypertension which is under control by medication. I take nicardia retard 10 mg daily. Not sure if this has any bearing on my sleep. Look forward to your advise. Thanks in advance. Regards,george varghese.
