I've had chronic insomnia for over 20 years and so now I take Tamazepam and have been for quite awhile.  Would like to get off of it though.      :peace:

Since I have allergies I usually take an allergy pill which helps me breathe, and also is the type that makes me drowsy.

I always just keep the TV on, I like the dim light and the sound from it keeps my brain preoccupied from other things so I can sleep. I tried music but I just cannot do music because every time I try I end up doing bed karaoke all night, haha.

I'm with the sleeping pill response.  I also watch a little tv (nothing intense).

If I watch something I've already seen it can help me fall asleep.  Or I will get up and do something cause then my body gets more tired.  For me, a nice warm shower can help my relax though I know some people who use a shower to wake themselves up, so that might not be for everyone.

A hard day at work usually does the trick.

Sometimes, when I'm having trouble sleeping, I'll draw a nice warm bubble bath and soak for a few minutes with a glass of wine...then it's off to dreamland!

We both live with Chronic Pain that we received from a car accident few years back..(08).. So we are on some pretty heavy drugs for pain.. which normally put us a sleep for a few hours every night..

Normally I am asleep within moments of lying down. On the rare occasion that I can't sleep I find that 3mgs. of Melatonin works very well and as long as I don't take it too late, there are no groggy after effects.
