I suffer from lack of sleep also.. My pdoc put me on some meds to help.. They make me fall asleep but I don't stay there.. So I get up and play around on the computer for an hour or two..Then I take another pill and go back to sleep for a couple of hours... I also take a nap during the day..My therapist told me to get up and do something for an hour or so ... She said if you try to force sleep all you will do is toss and turn.. I don't know if I can mention the med on here or not..
