Please pray God helps me to sleep. And at sensible times. It's only one tiny piece of the puzzle but my life would be a lot less complicated to sort out if I could just sleep when I'm supposed to. Insomnia is a terrible torment. Thanks

I know how it is. I will pray for you

try staying off caffine and out of the light before bed. And get out in natural light as soon as you can when you get up
hot shoers/ bath before bedtime and drinking decaf tea or warm milk usually helps too
and the impossible bit: Try not to think about stuff that worries you in bed, if you need to think, go for a walk first, then go to bed again.

if all else fails, you can get melatonin from your doctor, it is a "drug", but it also occurs naturally in your body. it is what tells your brain it's night/dark :)

you can buy melatonin over the counter or tryptophane(spelling?) that is the natural substance found in turkey that makes you sleepy. My nephew has used both

I used to use Advil PM all the time, now that I am depressed and on medication, all I do is sleep. Except for at night then I lay awake and listen to the tv
