25mg of CBD is all I need. I like it better than melatonin.

I've had good success with Trazodone (50 mg I think) and time-released Melatonin. Also, are you getting enough magnesium?

Jack off and eat a bologna sandwich, that’s pretty good nap medicine.
Wash hands though, you filthy bastards.

I don't drink alcohol (hooch, or beer) anymore been almost 2 years but a couple of months ago i tried wine. Couldn't think of it for recreation purposes but it knocks my azz out on those evenings with lots of "normal " (?) worries .coffee cup full or almost and I'm out. Not the healthiest solution but it works for me. During the day I drink hot valerian tea to sort of keep the edge off. Best of luck hope you get some sleep. Keep working. Tire yourself out

I have a prescription for Restoril. It is one of the benzodiazepines. I take one every 4 or 5 days, as needed. The prescription is for 90 pills. That is renewable, but the one lasts me all year.

Stay the heck away from Ambien and don't take any naps during the day.

Ambien is bad for you! I think it caused my brother in law to kill himself.

I drink black tea right up to bedtime, often two quarts within the last 1.5 hours, & sleep like a baby. However, eat protein (eggs, chicken, etc) within two hours of bedtime & I will do the "Crappie flop" all night long.

Get a reputable CBD take a 1/4 ml and work up to where you feel it working and a cup of blueberries at night!
MAGA! This is the way!

I've been retired going on ten years or so an never had a problem going to sleep until a month or so.It's not uncommon for me to not fall asleep for several hours and I'm now considering asking my doc for some prescription meds as the OTC ones I have tried don't seem to let me get fully awake the following AM regardless of my caffeine intake.
You ??? D, Try melatonan. Start with 2.mg at bedtime. Go up to 5 mg. Improves sleep quality in most everybody. J

Going to sleep isn't my problem. I usually conk right out. My problem is staying asleep on the other end. I wake up for the 4am pee and I'm awake for the duration.

Stay away from Ambien, Lunesta or any of the benzodiazepines except as a last resort. You can become dependent really easily and when you stop taking them the sleeplessness comes back worse than before you started. No tv or computer screens of any kind for at least an hour before bed makes a big difference. Also take a pure l-theanine supplement 2 hours before bed and melatonin an hour before bed if necessary. My neurologist gave me that combination and it seems to work well.
