Sleepless in South Carolina
Dear Dr. SerVaas,
My husband has had sleepless nights since ending chemotherapy in July 2007. He has tried prescriptions, herbal teas, and over-the-counter sleep aids. He may sleep for a couple hours upon going to bed but lies awake the rest of the night. He does not have sleep apnea, and all his blood tests are fine. Can any of your readers suggest help for this condition?
