[QUOTE="gingerkat, post: 1269734, member: 43502"] I have had insomnia for years. I have had been prescribed everything and taken OTC's as well and I still can't get a good night sleep. I've been through sleep hygiene classes and all that crap and nothing works. Mine is "psychological insomnia" combined with pain that wakes me up. I take Benedryl to fall asleep and occasionally take my Valium to help, but it doesn't do anything to help me from waking every two hours or so. My doctor has suggested that I try something called valerian root, which you can get in a health food store or it comes in tea. Try Celestial Seasonings "sleepytime extra" and maybe it will help. Also a good relaxing warm bath or shower can help, just not too close to bed time. White noise can be good, no tv, no reading in bed and if she can't sleep for more than 15 minutes, get up and go to another room. [/QUOTE]
