My 17 year old isn't sleeping?

Question

She hasn't been sleeping very well for two months she gets nightmares and we have tried everything even non drug medication should I take her to our family doctor for sleeping medication

Answer

If you have tried everything, including magnesium, Vit B's and non drug herbal sleep aid then yes, go and speak to your doctor, they should be able to help you. Getting a good night sleep is very important for our health.

Answer

The best sleep aid is warm milk and calcium pills at bed time. Study some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right. Doctors will not tell you this because they have no training in nutrition.

Answer

Why is she having nightmares? Is she being bullied, did some form of abuse happen? Sleeping pills are not a solution, they would only mask the true problem. You need to figure out why she isn't sleeping. Fear could be the likely culprit.
