I also suffer from insomnia. I went to see my doctor recently and told her that I was taking to sleeping pills per night, just the over the counter ones. She said that is fine and that it won't hurt my body. She mentioned it was the same thing as Benodryl. She did mention exercise in the morning or afternoon, have you tried that?

try to discover the reason, what keeps you from sleeping?

Maybe you should try going to a sleep therapist, they could help you out.

Also, you might want to avoid caffeine and sugar.

Get any textbook from a college bookstore and try to read it all the way through. Trust me that will work if you really try it. Try European history from 1200-1900. Between all of the Henrys, Edwards, Bolsheviks, Tudors, you'll be snoring in no time.

When I am having trouble sleeping I take a couple of melatonin pills(not something you should do every night, but it helps to get me on a normal sleep schedule), take a hot bath, put on some relaxing music and I am out before I know it. Also, meditation really helps me clear my head on those nights when my mind is going in a million different directions.

I suggest you take around 100- 200MG of Diphenhydramine, it's over the counter sleep medicine that goes by the name "Bendrayl" You'll get a good night's sleep.

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress,
dietary and medical problems. By making
small lifestyle changes like having a fixed
daily routine, relaxing and eating properly,
insomnia can be cured. I found the information at

Dear Rachel :

You did not include detail of Your life style and health habits about Smoker / Non-Smoker and nothinh about Your sexual habits neither, and both are VERY important to sleep disorders

Yet many people have several mis-conceptions and most tend to suggest the same solutions, the real cause is completely psychological.
You may try as many means and recipes as You want, the real thing is that

a) You're either becoming obsessed (stressed) by a Problem You seem unable to find a solution for and You're simply unable to unplug of it

or

b) You are so much bored with a situation You have been unable to change or are probably just unwilling to change that it dries out Your sleep away during night

In any case of the above, You truly need to "shock" or short-circuit Yourself and do something radical immediately, so You can get Your sleep back...

You may write Me and I'll let You know exactly what I did...

Good luck! Bear hugs! ;-)
