I too can understand where you are coming from. Only it is not just at night but any time. I take so many different medications, but because I am a mother of 2 and have so much running around to do with them I can't take the sedative-type pills during the day as they make me too sleepy. The ones I am on are Quetiapine (Serequel) and Clonazapam. The clonaz I now use as a sleeping tablet but the quetiapine I take morning and night. The quetiapine is the least drowsy one but its the clonaz that helps to shut my brain up. The non-medicine way I use also is just to thing of 'emptiness' and as soon as that 'noise' starts to come in concentrate on that empitness again. If nothing else it passes a bit of time!! good_luck: :
