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:
Sincerely,

Hi there.
I'm in my late 20's and have had problems in this area for years. I have not read over the previous comments, so I apologize if my reply is repetitive.
I have found absolutely no non-drug way of helping me get to sleep (well, other than reading a really boring book in bed).
I have used Benadryl and Melatonin (not together) - and sometimes I don't even fall asleep after I've taken those!
I have not used any other drugs to fall asleep.
Oh, boo. You should probably read the comments to get the non-drug advice/ideas! I hope something works. No fun being tired.
Personally, I don't like OTC stuff and I don't think it works very well. Maybe for a minor case. Tylenol PM and Benadryl also have a really draggy effect on me, much worse than ambien. I only take benadryl in an emergency when I have a allergy-induced hive attack. Otherwise, yucky. But that's just me.
