i have read all of your r eplies and several of you have merely validated that you also suffer racing thoughts that interfere with sleep. i have made modifications in what i eat and drink, use 2 noise machines, can't listen to hubby's breathing as i go to bed much earlier than him..t.v. turned low doesn't work, nor do hot baths, or calm music so i'm really asking what those of you who medicate, what works for you. tried melatonin, doesn't work, ambien puts me to sleep but i don't stay asleep, and when i combine a little klonopin with seroquel, i do sleep but the hangover next day is horrid. is the reality that i will never have a good nite's sleep. this insomnia is new and i've been diagnosed and medicated for 35 yrs. and at a point in my life where i have the most serenity.
