I've been in bed since 11:30. Now it's after 2:30. I had initially taken this product called natural calm before I went to bed. That usually works right away. But I had to take 1 1/2 sleeping pills 20 min ago but still am wide awake. I even prayed several times that God would help me fall asleep but still awake...

Personally I have found the cure to not being able to sleep, sleep anxiety, insomnia having suffered these and tried absolutely everything. Focus on your breathing (constant and smooth rhythm), and when you get distracted, focus again, and keep doing that until you become good at if. If you remember when you were younger and slept like a baby, all you did was breath until suddenly you don't remember falling asleep.
This has worked 100% for me. The only issue I have is choosing to sleep early, which I'm working on too. My self-discipline sucks!
I believe all cures must be of a natural origin, otherwise, we become reliant on something. And when you take away that something, often the problem comes back because we haven't cured the problem naturally.

There have been times I've had trouble falling asleep. My bigger problem is waking up too soon. I do not recommend sleeping pills, and isn't it dangerous to take more than the prescribed amount?
Sometimes I wake at night and it seems I cannot get back to sleep. For a few times, when this first occurred, I thought I had insomni, but I was just yielding to it.
So I began praying more and more when I awoke like tha, and being honest and not a tricky child, I confess to the Father that I am talking to Him also in order to go back to sleep. I seem to always manage, but even those times when I felt I could not I would simply think in terms of laying there and resting my body anyway, even if not in the bliss of sleep. I aalways wake up or rise refreshed thanks to our Lord, and confidence in Him.
Praise our Almighty Father, amen.
