| | | Day 12: When to Get Professional Help for Sleep Problems | | | | If you've tried everything but still go night after night without enough sleep, you may want to reach out to a doctor for help. Long-term insomnia can seriously affect your life, leading to moodiness, difficulty concentrating, and depression. Ongoing lack of sleep puts you at greater risk for chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.
