Hi Charlene,

Have you tried Benedryl? I often take it when I need help sleeping, just

remember you must take it an hour or two before you want to sleep. Let us know

if it works, Good Luck!

Just be careful with that if you are taking other prescription drugs. I

take many b/c of my RSD and it reacts with my meds badly. I think there is

only

one type of antihistamine I can take.

I do have trouble sleeping quite often. Usually if I'm not perfectly

comfortable lying quietly I get up and find something else to do until I

feel drowsy. The catch for me is that I don't usually have to get up at any

particular time, so I can sleep in. Do you sleep better during the day? I've

always been restless until 3 or 4 AM then can finally get some deep sleep.

If I decide to take a nap during the day I always drop right off. LOL

If you don't have to get up early why not just go with your natural sleep

rhythms. If you do have to get up - I did it for many years - there's a tea

made by Celestial Seasonings called Tension Tamer, not sure what's in it but

it does a fine job of mellowing me out so I can sleep. You could try a cup

of that shortly before bedtime.

Good luck
