Sleeping disorders can be due to many factors ranging from emotional disturbances, poor bedroom conditions, underlying illnesses, excessive use of alcohol and unprescribed drugs. As a businessman, your poor sleeping habit could be due to emotional difficulties arising from the stress of your business. All the same, it will be a good idea for you to check your Blood Pressure and make sure that you are not under any form of undue stress or tension. Regular exercises and avoidance of alcohol and drugs have also been confirmed to improve sleep. In addition, your doctor can put you on a mild sleeping tablet if your condition does not improve.
