I suffered from insomnia last night....it was hard to drift off and I kept waking up it has been a while since that happened....but it usually pasts and I drift off....

I have taken melatonin or valerian root to help with going back to sleep at night. It works a lot of the time for me.

I use CVS sleep aids and they work pretty well if you use them only once or twice a week. If you use them everyday for some reason they just don't work at all.

I hate nights like those.  I think we all have them at one time.  I don't take anything, just try reading or watching TV, usually works for me.

Yeah I have had many nights like this recently. I have gotten into a bad sleeping pattern where I don't go to sleep until around 3 in the morning. It puts me in a mood but it is the only time I can fall asleep. It's like a vicious cycle.

When I can't seem to fall asleep I lay in my bed thinking of the good-old-days or reflecting back on my childhood friends and the things we used to do. Sometimes this helps me fall asleep.

I do have the same problem, too.  I know mine, however, is because I spent a majority of my life working third shift and now I am paying for it.  I cannot regulate myself out now no matter how I try.  I hate laying in the bed tossing and turning, so I always inevitably am back up, tiring out somewhere around 7 or 8 when everyone else is starting their day.  It is so frustrating!

I suffer from insomnia all the time; and, I have tried everything!   Any sure fire suggestions?  I am desperate!

I heard that counting backwards will help you fall asleep. I trying starting at 1,000 and count back, but it's boring (lol) but let me know if it works.

I have been like that before and not including today. I am tried but can't fall a sleep like but when I was a kid my parents use to say count sheep and the other night I did that lol and before you know it I heard my alarm clock. So sometimes taking medication don't help just be bored.

I have trouble getting to sleep almost every night.  I think my problem is the number of prescription medications I take.  I will get so sleepy during the day and take a nap.  Then  I can't get to sleep at night.  Almost all the meds I take say "May cause drowsiness" on the bottle.  I wish I could reset me sleeping patterns.

That has been happening to me the past few nights. It's frustrating. I feel tired enough to where I think as soon as I hit the pillow I'll be out. But it's just the opposite.

It is an everyday occurence for me, I will switch my hours around to get up early sunday morning stay up all day and be fine but then sunday night I will be up for almost 24 hours, something with night time and me, I don't like day time
