Yes spoken to the doctor and she put me on cocodamol but it's making me tired but I still can't sleep.I will find the tea to see if that helps.

Im the opposite. Slept 10 hours last night. Quetiapine is a godsend. Was up for 2 hours this morning then had to go back to bed as i couldnt move for the fatigue then slept for over 5 hours till the back of 5 pm. Been up for 4 hours now n feeling very fatigued again. Would b great if we could find a happy medium. In 2014 and 2015 i experienced lack of sleep like you are just now. 💜

I used a sleep App called Relax Melodies. Has a timer on it so will switch off after 30 mins. I used it for about 6 weeks and it seems to have re-set my sleep. Sleeping better than I have for 10 years, 6 hours, sometimes 7 a night. I don't take any prescribed medication as I seem to get every side effect going but I do take 1 magnesium tablet most nights.

You could try self hypnosis, easier than it sounds. I'll try to find a link and add it.

Edit : lots of self hypnosis online and free Apps too just google Self hypnosis for sleep

I just seen this and thought you might find hops useful.

I went out to my polytunnel on Sunday and started to pull the hops from my single plant as my son is going to make beer with the fresh hops. Now after an hour or so I had to leave and I lay down and for me it was novel to fall into a deep sleep for two hours. At first I thought it was my usual tiredness but I cut down the remaining plant took it indoors and set in front of tv pulling hops now the same thing happened. At this point I got the idea that the hops were causing this so I put 50grams of fresh hops into a net bag and put it in my bed by the pillow, it took longer for it to take effect but I slept very well for 5 hours, I honestly can say I felt good next day the last time I slept this long was when I fractured my skull!

Maybe you can get hops online and perhaps even make a tea from the dried hops.

I know how terrible this lack of sleep is, so I hope this helps, I always start to count backwards from 1000 as I find it allows my body to relax and my mind occupied.
