Insomnia is literally driving me insane! Third night on the sofa for me this week, simply because I don't want to keep my hubby awake to. The thing is I'll get through tomorrow not a bother, I won't even feel tired! Ive tried everything, lavender, warm milk, no social media or tv. I really dont want to go down sleeping tablet route. Just want a good nights sleep !!!

Gjirlfriend - if you have go go the sleeping pill route, try Ambien for a little while, but don't stay on it because it wont work after awhile and you'll become addicted. I've been on every sleep med you can name, but Seroquel is the best, it has saved me, but it's an anti-psychotic, very heavy. Maybe when I get my hormones more balanced I can get some sleep after 6 years. Im hoping HRT will help me sleep without this.

Try magnesium and calcium at night. I take it before I go to bed. Your frustration is probably heightening your anxiety about sleep. I always read too. It clears my head.

I hope you can regulate it by yourself, that will be better...

I have a tried and true method of getting myself to sleep and it doesnt involve meds. No laughing.......i watch Bob Ross painting videos on youtube. That guy has the mellowest voice and such a gentle approach that you cant help but zone out when watching him. You will find yourself fighting to stay awake just to see the finished painting. Better than cannabis ladies!
