DONT fight not sleeping ,do something to drain physical energy (walking is the best -has least impact on your joints go to very natural places, eat a balanced diet, no or very little refined sugar ,no caffeine decaf instead, no cola ,no energy drinks ,make your last meal very light and your first meal heavy- you've fasted
another member said its a gateway drug,
chance eat dates and nuts ,pineapples, grapes THEYLL knock out the sugar craving and probably save your pancreas and liver
I too struggle with sleep, and have not yet found a solution. I really hope you find something that works for you. I know how terrible it is to not be able to sleep.hi struggle so so much to sleep, sometimes I can if I'm reallily tired but not often , what works for you?

Wait, mint is good to take at night? I was once told that peppermint would keep me awake like coffee & I never challenged it, but I love peppermint herbal tea.I try to take a nightly walk, a few hours before bedtime. Also will sometimes do a bit of stretching and possibly some low key yoga. I'll turn off my computer and read something that doesn't require that I think too much. Towards that time, I'll lower the brightness levels on my monitor and attempt to calm myself a little with bedtime routines like a bath, brushing my teeth, my hair. Might have some herbal tea made from camomile, st. john's wort, mint or licorice. And like Katelya I do take melatonin, and occasionally aspirin to help me sleep.
