I have tried three different prescription sleeping aids and none of them has done a thing for me. My doctor had determined that I am not depressed and in good physical health otherwise.

My mother suffered with chronic insomnia from ages 9-60. Two hours for her was a good night Some nights she didn't sleep at all. She ached of tiredness and finally found help through a sleep clinic. I can help you. For starters, I want you to go to your doctor and get a prescription for Ambien CR. It will put you to sleep and keep you asleep. It's a brand new med that is non-habit forming!! I really think that will be all the help you need. If that doesn't work, feel free to e-mail me. We can try more drastic measures. btw, my mother is now 79-years young, and sleeps 7 hours a night. It's the closest thing to a miracle I've ever seen. Try the Ambien CR. Make the appt. tomorrow. Good luck to you. :)

Maybe you just need to relax. If you're having trouble falling asleep, sitting in front of a bright computer is not what you should be doing.
Dim the light and do something relaxing, read a book, do some simple puzzles, whatever you like.
I can't believe that nurse would ply her own mother with medication. No offense to her but I think something is seriously wrong when the nurse sounds like a drug commercial.

Insomnia. No rhyme or reason. I had it for years. The all natural method is melatonin regimen. See an accupuncturist or wholistic doctor.
Also, try more exercise. I take a walk in the early morning, then go to the gym after work for an hour. Just before bed, I do some pilates exercises and tense my muscles. I sleep like a baby.
Also, no more caffiene or soda of any kind. No sugar either. No fried foods. No alcohol. If you really want to see a change, you're going to have to change your life.

well, stress is the common factor but if your doctor don't see you depressed, maybe you have any other disorder that cause to insomnia.
this could help you for get good night sleep (this is not a pill or prescription at all)

Show me a person who cannot sleep and I'll show you a person with alot on their mind. If you have a stressful life it's hard to let it all go when it's time for bed
