Thanks, Yaowen. There is a certified Chinese herbalist in my area that I could perhaps inquire about. He is also an acupuncturist. I have seen him before but had to stop due to financial reasons. I wish his services were covered by insurance. I have heard of the two hypnotics you mentioned. And you captured and delineated the very essence of my problem. I have insomnia during the night, and somnolence during the day. I have heard of a medication called Loxapine, and someone attributed this drug to helping him get into a regular sleep pattern. Anyway, thank you for your helpful and kind words, Yaowen. I will think about maybe going back to that CCH practitioner and ask him about herbal products that could help me get onto a regular sleep pattern. Or maybe I could tell my psychiatrist about my issue and see if he has any helpful recommendations.
