Ever sense I was little I've had a hard time sleeping. Insomnia. It's horrible. People tell me to take sleeping pills but I don't want to. I already take allergy pills which cause drowsiness. But at the same time sleep avoids me. Last night I was so tired I knew I would fall asleep early and then I sat, staring out my window at the night sky, until almost 3am before I fell asleep. Then I woke up around 4:25-4:30 and haven't fallen asleep sense. I'm not supposed to be up until 6:30am. I know this isn't the biggest problem ever but if anyoe has advice on how to handle insomnia without pills being involved, please tell me.

Hi I emphasise as insomnia is awful isn't it? I must admit I do take the ad mirtazapine to help me sleep. I only take the lowest dose though.

As far as natural ways to sleep there is lots of info online about it so I can only suggest you google it and try them all. I hope it works for you. It didn't for me. x
