No one really answered the question, you didn't go to the site and give me an opinion.

My doctor ran a test and said my muscles constrict at night so she put me on flexeril muscle relaxer. My sister is on Lunesta as she just has too much on her mind when she tries to sleep.

For more than five years, I have had all kinds of difficulty sleeping: not being able to go to sleep at my normal sleep time, waking up too early, staying awake four hours to eight hours three to four times weekly, waking up feeling exhausted, waking up two or more times a night, etc. As I was primary caregiver for my Mom, a stroke, paralyzed patient for 10 years, I had also experienced depression many times. Now, all of the above is history and I achieved it without the use of harmful prescriptions.
You'll achieve your goal of attaining good health thru a well balanced diet (80% alkaline foods meaning fruits/vegetables and 20% acidic foods daily), regular exercise (three/four times weekly 30 minutes each), and drinking 8 glasses of water daily. However, I'll go one step further to show you the best and quickest way to attain good health so that your entire system will achieve a balanced pH and not be depleted of the essential minerals that it needs. Here's why.
As the typical American diet is mainly acidic, except for most fruits and vegetables, it is close to impossible for our body to attain the alkaline levels that spells good health without the proper nutrients. This being the case, it is very difficult to attain good health unless you monitor closely your body's pH. Let me explain.
An acid pH has considerable influence over the majority of health problems, including depression and sleeplessness. Here's what happens when a system is too acid.
Acidosis disrupts general lipid and fatty acid metabolism within the body. Fatty acids are intimately involved in nerve and brain function. When fatty acid metabolism is disturbed, neurological problems may arise including hormonal imbalance within the endocrine system.
The best way, though, to drink 8 glass of water daily is to mix it with Xtreme X2O, a natural and organic, coral calcium with 70 trace minerals, which transforms the pH of the water beverage to 9.9 (highly alkaline)!
You may ask why not just drink plain water? The answer is: When you drink lots of water, all of 8 glasses daily, it does not have the essential minerals (calcium, magnesium with 70 trace minerals) that your body needs to elevate its pH and therefore, alkalize your body as the pH of plain water is rather low and very acidic (pH < 7.0). "Alkalinity" equals Oxygen and Oxygen = Good Health.

If you would like to know what your pH level is, let me know. For more info, check this site:

Try getting up especailly early one day and do alot of exersize, or something to whipe you out so when you go to bed you will be especailly tired and be abel to fall asleep quickly. It should get you on the right sleeping track.

For some people sleep patterns are affected by aging, menopause etc, not just depression. I've used melatonin with good results.
