Anyone had experience with overcoming insomnia?

Any advice would be appreciated

Well this has always worked for me. Take a combination capsule of calcium/magnesium - 3 capsules five minutes before you go to bed with warm milk. 😴

I'm a mild insomniac. For me lifestyle is critical.

No caffeine after 2pm except on special occasions. Having a ritual of bedtime is also important. It signals to your whole being, "time to sleep." I take melatonin and listen to soothing music. Same bedtime or similar every night. Exercise during the day vigorously.
One thing that helps me is writing down what I worry over. I tend to over think, writing it out seems to quiet my mind. I do this an hour before bed.

Google "melatonin"...they'll do a better job of explaining it than I will but in a nutshell, it's a natural hormone that helps regulate your sleeping patterns.

Nope. I have tried everything. Neuro says "some people just don't sleep".
Good luck.

Benadryl is actually a good and safe thing to use.

Use something herbal first, just to see if breaks your sleep pattern (or lack thereof, lol) It usually does for me.
Sleeping the same time every night, make sure your not hungry because hunger will wake u up
Having a routine before bed sometimes works but not always. Good luck
I find trying to stay awake usually does it for me.

glycine has helped me a bit. apparently it either makes people super wired or relaxed, a bit like benadryl

I listen to this every evening. It will program your subconscious mind to sleep.
