When should I get professional help with a sleep goal?

Do not stack sedating agents with alcohol or sleeping pills. Do not self-prescribe melatonin during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in children, or while on medicines — ask a clinician. Snoring with pauses, heavy daytime sleepiness or chronic insomnia can signal a sleep disorder or depression and warrant care before any product. Drowsiness affects driving and machinery.
