iknow exactly how you feel stop trying to sleep lol it ights back just lay down not expecting to sleep and muse......... when you breathe make a concentrated effort to stretch out your rib cage as you breathe in and close it when you breathe out then relax your face muscles your shoulders and the rest making them feel heavy. think only of breathing deeply nothing else if your mind wanders bring it back to the breathing each time you can train it and this has worked for me..... good luck petal

Hi I have the same problem in that I cannot take sleeping tablets but I talked to my GP and he has given me a strong anti anxiety drug-Chlorpromazine and this helps alot but he will only ever give me a small amount of them. i hope talking to your GP will be helpful. Take care Sue x

hi i know how you feel but i am the same but i have tried all sorts of tablets sleeping tablets etc but nothing works i think it is just how it is lol but there you go.I would go see your gp and have a chat i hope they are as good as mine but i have tried all the usual warm milky drink/no drink/lavender oil on pillow/warm bed/cold bed you name it i have tried it but nothing works but i hope that maybe your gp has something that will help you sleep !!!!!

love to you all diddle x
