Do need a sleep aid >?
I have insomnia. I was taking meds for it but I heard some things that scared me off of them. I hate to rely on drugs but some nights I just cannot take it any longer. I have Xanax for anxiety that I take if I feel an anxiety attack coming on but lately I've been relying on them to relax me to sleep. I also take melatonin sometimes. I've been meaning to get my butt down to GNC, I hear glycine sticks are good for sleep but couldn't find it at Wal-Mart. I haven't tried CVS or Walgreens. I must check this out this week.
This sounds odd, but I like quiet. But lately, I have only been able to fall asleep with the TV on quietly in the background. I also wear earplugs, I know, weird because of the TV. I still hear my alarm clock go off but not much else. It has to be dark. I just use the TV til I fall asleep then it gets turned off if I wake up.
I'm having issues now Fell asleep around 4, woke up at 5 feeling like I had been out for hours. Laid back down and finally passed out again only to wake up to a nightmare that almost had me in tears and now I'm just a little shaken up and can't get comfortable. Gotta love nightmares!

We both have insomnia so it's always a battle. Fortunately, we both like having some white noise going in the background. I don't necessarily need complete darkness though, and sometimes it helps me to have something like Netflix (or the TV) going really softly for background noise.
And of course, sleep meds are my friends! lol I take a cocktail of OTC and Rx stuff to help me sleep (designed by my doctor, don't worry) and so does my man. We both take Valerian Root in our cocktails, but I skip the melatonin. I had a sleep specialist explain to me that melatonin really isn't proven to work at all, but Valerian Root is. So I switched from melatonin to Valerian.

It must be dark or I can't sleep. I also have a fan near the bed which helps me sleep. I don't like having to take medication for it but I have taken Melatonin sometimes to help me sleep.
