Brief Answer: May need a sleep study Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. You don't sleep properly may have several meaning like you snore and there is sleep fragmentation or you just fail to initiate your sleep. Sleep fragmentaion and snoring is important sign of what is called obstructive sleep apnoea, commonly found in obese individiuals, with increased neck circumference or forward protruding lower jaw, for which sleep study is needed and commonly prescribed is a CPAP device after titration study. Failing to initiate sleep may be due to anxiety, work shift changes, taking alcohol, smoking, thyroid disorders etc. It will be better if you become precise... Best wishes
