Hi there Sunblaze. I suffer from insomnia so much. It started when everything went downhill with my ex girl friend now. When I had it, the only thing that would help it a little was sleeping with someone I loved. Maybe you should try that. Do u have a loved one at all? All the cuddling and safe feeling just kept me feeling so at ease that my body would easily fall asleep next to my girlfriend. I hope that helps a little.

I have had insomnia 15 years (after my divorce)and finally found something safe you might wanna try. Melatonin.
Can get it at a health food store.
Also Benadryl worked really well for awhile but I found out it's not good for your brain in the long run, like those "pm" products, not safe in long term.
Melatonin is natural. Buy a strong one.

You have insomnia ): I'm sorry, talk to a doctor.

Watermelon is right. You really should talk to a physician. There are many non-addictive medications out there and for many people the medication is only needed for a short term basis to get your rhythms back in sync. I experience long term, chronic insomnia and it sucks. Meds help most of the time. Good luck.

Ha sunblaze usually people don't like doctors until the things crash and only when they do they visit a hospital. Stupid:)
