I have never been on a regular sleep/wake schedule in 10 years (since I was 16) I can get to sleep at 9 but then I wake up and that only happens like once a month and then it's back to the insomnia. I've tried pills and they make my legs stay awake and it's painful. when I aviod caffene after 4 I get migraines. I don't exercize because I work 50 hours a week. Is there anything you can suggest that maybe I need to do?

I used to work in graveyard shifts (7pm to 7am). Therefore I need to stay awake on my off days and switch over to night shift on my working days.
I am able to sleep using the following:
- melatonin : I took 1-2mg. I have colleagues that take up to 6 mg. The average is about 3mg. This is non additive. Another point is melatonin need no doctor's prescription. You can read more from this site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/melatonin.....
I have even read from books on melatonin that it is an anti-aging pill. Not bad. You sleep and stop growing old.
- use lavender aromatherapy. Lavender smell help me to sleep after a night shift.
Some addition tips I used
- The most important rule is not to force yourself to sleep.
- Get a boring book with a topic you want to learn. Read until you are ready to sleep. Listen to classic music as you read.
- No activity before you sleep. Avoid watching movies, reading ghost stories, pillow fights, exercising.
- Keep the clock as far away as possible. The ticking make you even more afraid and awake.

Try going to bed at the same time everynight. If after a few weeks you're still having insomnia, consult your physician. If he's unable to help you out, go to a sleep clinic that can diagnose your problem. Hopefully, you will be successful. I know from experience how bad insomnia can be.
That's my two cents for ya.
