I have heard of trying melatonin, too.
I refuse to try things like Ambien because I would be one of those people who drove to places w/out knowing it because my unconscious is always thinking about certain people and places I miss...and that's a scary thought.
Reading can knock me out sometimes (plus the klonopin) if I am trying to relax before sleeping, sometimes I just give up.
TV and computer right before trying to sleep do NOT help. I also need all darkness.
My pdoc said morning exercise should help me sleep better...but I tend to fall asleep in the morning and sleep during the day, MUCH better than night (someone forgot to warn me I was becoming a vampire).
I also am on klonipin and often doesn't help. I have tried trazadone with no luck as well and ambien...scary. we have a lot in common...would love to chat more.
