I gave up and called my doctor

So as some of you know I struggle with sleeping. I rarely get a full night's rest. I'm exhausted all the time well. It's really taking a toll on me so today I made a video appointment with my doctor and told him I give up please help me. There is a sleeping pill he's been wanting me to try but I am afraid to. I'm afraid it will knock me out. My daughter sleep walks from time to time and my son will some time walk up at 2 am and think it's time to start the day. I have to be able to hear them. I have to be able to wake up. But I'm not alone anymore I have Joel here and he's been pushing me to try these pills. He will be able to get up if one of the kids do get up in the middle of the night. So I did it. I'll pick them up tonight. I will give them a try Friday night. I have to get some sleep. I can't keep this up.
