I also have trouble sleeping whether I am tired or not. I have an Rx for klonopin, but it doesn't seem as effective as it used to be. My pdoc prescribed other medications that did make me tired, but I still have a restless sleep and feel so dopey when I wake up that I cannot function the next morning. I really envy people that can fall asleep right away and feel refreshed when they wake up. In addition to meds I've tried all sorts of things like magnesium, melatonin, new pillows, lavender spray, an air purifier for white noise, and none of it seems to work that well. My muscles in my back and neck feel stiff all the time and I have tried stretching which gives me some relief, but not enough to put me to sleep. The only thing that seemed to work is that I got a massage at one of those places in the mall where you can get a 20 minute massage for $20. I was really relaxed afterward, but it's not feasible for me to do that all the time. I wish that I could find something that works because this is super frustrating.
