Charles, a 45-year-old Asian American male, presents to your clinic with difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep for 2 months following the death of his mother. “I lay in bed an hour or more, and don’t fall asleep. I have never had this problem before,” he says. He is taking melatonin 5 mg nightly for two weeks and has not noticed a difference. He consumes 3.5 to 4.5 cups of coffee a day. “I’ve started having a whiskey on ice every night to help me sleep,” he says. “My wife says when I do sleep, my legs jerk at night, but I haven’t noticed that.” After considering the case and recognizing that Charles might be suffering from adjustment sleep disorder as well as poor sleep hygiene, you decide to prescribe trazodone 50 to 100 mg at bedtime as needed for sleep. You also consider patient education and referral needs. Consider this case study and, in a one- to two-page paper, address the following: Describe what causes sleep disorders and provide examples of evidence-based pharmacologic treatments. What nonpharmacological treatments might you recommend? Would you consider any other testing for referrals for Charles? Why or why not? What medication side effects or interactions should you be aware of? What education will you provide Charles regarding the medication?
