I asked my doctor for a mild sleeping tablet. Helps most of the time. Big Hugs

Ps ...Melatonin is good for sleep it is a natural substance your body makes anyway. You can buy it at drug stores or health food stores..

Maybe this will help you...go online..Google .. Sleep subliminal youtube ( I just add subliminal to keep away talking videos) lots of videos will pop up that might help ..you can also use Pain Subliminal youtube or even nature sounds subliminal youtube.. There is even ..hypnosis sleep subliminal youtube..just tons of useful music for sleep.. ( I listen most nights)

I found using an eye mask and ear plugs very helpful. Don't ask me how but for me closing off the outside world must literally calm my nerves and relaxes me. Tea's and pills didn't work

Katy93 I'm trying to find natural ways to get sleepy. I've been listening to nature sounds one hour before bed. Rain falling/thunderstorms, birds chirping, whale and dolphin, crickets, tinkling wind chimes. I found a new favorite. The Tibetan singing bowls. You can find a mix of whatever relaxes you most on www.youtube.com. I use to watch tv until I feel asleep. I read that all the lights flashing and loud noises of tv keep your brain over stimulated. These nature sounds put you in a relaxing state of mind. I also take an epsom salt bath with a few drops of lavender and a little bubble bath. I'm on a low dose of ambien but I want to get off of it.
