Two commonly prescribed drugs may be the cause of your insomnia.

Alpha-blockers (e.g. tamsulosin used for treating prostate conditions) and beta-blockers (e.g. atenolol used for blood pressure) may be the reason you’re losing sleep. Adjusting the dose or even changing to another drug may solve the problem.
