I Have Insomnia

I can fall asleep...I just dont stay asleep :(

If I am able to fall asleep fairly fast (1 hour or less) then I will wake up every two hours or so thru the night.
If I can't fall asleep, then I just lay there for hours & hours & hours. [b]BLAH[/b]

It won't! Have been like this for over a decade. Have tried virtually every OTC medication as well as prescription drugs, and [i]The Beat Goes On, Yes The Beat Goes On - in my brain[/i].

Also try not exercising at night and staying away from booze at night too.

You could also talk to a psychotherapist. It took me about 12 months to regulate my sleep cycle again.

I had that problem too. Melatonin helped a lot: https://sleepfoundation.org/sleep-topics/melatonin-and-sleep

You're welcome. St. John's Wort knocked me out but left me with a hangover. Even 1/2 a dose left me groggy. I couldn't really function the next day so I needed an alternative. But you could try it, too.
