I used to love my sleep, till 3 year before. I am 58 years old male. Since 3 yrs, I have started taking stresnil and other sleeping pills to have a sleep during night. I am not at all comfortable with intake/support of sleeping pills, as this has further worsened my asthmatic problems. I am badly stressed/ worrisome person due to my family affairs and it seems a distant dream to resolve my on going stressed conditions due to erratic behavior of my wife and son.

You are treating sleep symptomatically. You have not treated the cause of the sleep disturbance. Medicines as well as psychotherapy, depending upon your preference can be used to treat the cause. Medicines, if you wish, can be given as it is cheaper and less time consuming than psychotherapy. the medicines I am referring to are not addictive contrary to the sleep medicines you are reporting. As is obvious, a detailed evaluation will be needed before these measures are undertaken. Take care!
