When you can't sleep, everything in your life just plain sucks. Maybe you've tried over the counter stuff - NoDoze and Red Bull to keep you awake, and melatonin to put you back under - but if you have a real medical condition (and not just wild weekends) that's keeping you from a good night's rest, you need to take things up a notch and have it treated by a real doctor. I was going through life as a zombie without realizing I had sleep apnea, a funky sounding condition I'd never heard of before. Dr. Ahluwalia was able to get all of my sleep testing done in a single night at the clinic so my schedule wasn't thrown off, and within the week he helped explain to me my various options for treating what was keeping me from real, meaningful rest. All of my questions were answered politely and promptly, and the doctor's nursing and support staff were absolutely fantastic.
