All sleep diagnoses should be done by a Doctor, not over the counter meds. There may be underlieing problems which may be the cause of such insomnia, like Bipolar Disorder, depression, anxiety, etc.

A psychiatrist is the best doctor for these treatments, but a general practioner can get you started.
