Do any of you have trouble with insomnia? I'm really having a problem with it on a regular basis. From talking with people my age (45) a lot of people seem to have the same problem. Any suggestions on how to overcome insomnia without drugs? :frustrated:

In the RARE instance that I can't sleep, I take melatonin. You can get it amost anyplace that sells "dietary supplements". It usually comes in 3 mg tablets, but I only need 1/2 of a tablet to do the job. Take it about 1 hour before you want to sleep. It can have a bit of a "hangover" effect, so don't drive or skydive in the AM unless you are sure you are wide awake. As an added bonus, it seems to make the day after a bit calmer.
