i strongly suggest valerian root. it's great at releving stress and tension! you can get it over the counter and it's a great sleep aid! if you have one of those "racing minds" or "i can't turn my head off no matter how tired i am" then this will deffinately help. you can find at your local grocery store in the pharmacy or herbal remedy section. start off taking 500-1000mgs, 30-45 minutes before you go to bed. now you can get this stuff in capsle form and it's 100% safe (my whole family has been taking it for years and our family doctor actually recomended it) however the only downside is that the more potent the brand your taking the stronger the smell. and this stuff smells AWFUL! but it's worth it. within 5-7 days you should notice a definate change in your sleep.
WARNING! i strongly do not suggest that you take tylonal PM and boose, in any form or combination. the main ingredient in tylonal PM and advil pm, or benadryl for that matter is diphenhydramine. here's what happens when you take it:
You can walk into a drugstore and choose from an array of sleep aids, offered without prescription. The main ingredient of over-the-counter sleeping pills is an antihistamine. Antihistamines are generally taken for allergies, but also make you feel very sleepy. Common over-the-counter sleep medications are Sleep-Eze, Sominex, Nytol, and Unison; they contain antihistamines such as:
diphenhydramine hydrochloride,
diphenhydramine citrate, or
doxylamine succinate.
In general, over-the-counter sleep medications are not a good choice because they:
Are not intended for long-term use.
Interfere with mental alertness during the day, so you should avoid driving and other similar tasks. You may also be at risk for falling asleep
Reduce the quality of your sleep by reducing time you spend in deep sleep.
Use over-the-counter sleep medications only for transient or short-term insomnia and in conjunction with changes to your sleeping habits. Be sure to pay attention to your body’s physical response to these sleep medications.
I HOPE THIS HELPS AND BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR MOM!!!

I think you need to call your doctor tomorrow, go and see him or her. Explain the situation just as you have done here. It seems to me that you may be suffering from anxiety. The doctor could prescribe a medicine that would be more appropriate for your symptoms.
When my sister was diagnosed with cancer, I couldn't sleep either.
I'll remember you and your mom in my prayers.
Best Wishes,

You've paid hire and for that reason centered residency. He are not able to throw you out or it might be crook. Verbal contacts are enforceable in court docket, even though subsequent time get a written rent. Actually it can be unlawful for him to be renting with out a apartment agreement. If this man bodily threatened you, name the police. File a document. To evict you he might ought to refund the unused element of your per thirty days hire (minus ? many days) plus refund your protection deposit. Since he are not able to, he are not able to. I'd begin watching for a different situation even though, via the ebbs of the month. You're proper - this man is a nut. Contact your states Tennant/landlord council. Tell them what has occurred. See what they may be able to support you with.

You are stressed and have anxiety. Rightfully so. I am sorry for your situation. Think of getting Xanax it helps with sleep and anxiety. Any doctor will prescribe it given your situation. Good luck to your mom and your family.
