Hello – I FINALLY conquered my insomnia with the help of Martin Reed. Recently, I started the use of a steroid inhaler (Symbicort) and it is keeping me up at night. Although it has only been two days, I am not able to fall asleep – the medication (which I have to take both morning and evening) makes me feel awake. Is there anything I can do to help without taking a sleeping pill?

Sometimes sleep is temporarily disrupted for obvious reasons — and it sounds like starting to use a steroid inhaler might be the obvious cause here.

Have you discussed your concerns about this with your doctor? Since it has only been a couple of days, it might just be a case of giving yourself time to adjust. Sleep is often temporarily disrupted whenever there’s a change in our lives, and starting a new medication would definitely be considered a life change!
