I Have Insomnia

When it strikes, it strikes hard.

What did you do to overcome it?
I average 4 hours a night and I might nap an hour or so after dinner.
The nap might interrupt with a full nights sleep, but I feel lucky if I get 6 hours or more. I have not had 8 hours of straight sleep since before Xmas.

I could stay up 30 hours but I have to force myself to go to sleep
I have tried melatonin but it did not help.
I am trying to avoid prescription drugs.

I have taken Melatonin, Trazadon, and Doxepin. But about a month ago the doctor prescribed me Ambien, 2mg and it seems to be working. I sleep well when I take it. I only use it 3,4 nights a week, I don't want to become dependent on it.

Same here, I hate that restless feeling of desperately wanting to sleep but being unable.
It really does. There are some things you can do to help make it happen less. PM me.

I have been an insomniac for over 40 years.

I have learned to embrace it.

I wonder if it's our age... I go through that at times...
