Default Re:Ok, im officially a nut job.

I have had insomnia since I was a little kid and its mostly anxiety and stress induced...I bet your mind just wanders and thinks of countless things you have to do, should do, want to do, worries etc etc. I use to take tylenol pms religously and even vicodine. Thats just a temp solution that wears off...tried ambien, sinesta (sp?) and other prescrip. sleep aids...nothing worked and will only start to hurt you physically in the long run. The best thing I can say is ya just have to let the worries of the current and next day/week go and I find working out after or before work tires me just enough so that I can lay in bed and fall asleep gradually...I would suggest turning off all the lights/tv and having some sort of ambient noise such as a fan, heater or humidifier going. I have to get up at 6am and I usually fall asleep by 12:30-1:30 the latest. Going back 6 years ago 5am would be the time I would finally fall asleep. Hot decaf. tea helps too.
