Anyone got any tips that I could give a go? I have cut out caffine drinks after 6pm, dim the lights, read a book, drink milk, try a warm shower before bedtime, some natural sleep aids. I take 300mgs of Largactil but am still having problems getting and staying asleep.

Dollar General (if you live in the US) sells a night time sleep aid that works wonders. It costs about $2 for a two week supply. Also, have you tried melatonin? That works well for me. You can get it in 3mg or 5mg (7mg maybe?).

I sometimes use a children's/allergy med or Benadryl that has drowsiness as a side effect. It helps me breathe better too (stuffy room) and doesn't seem as sedating as a sleeping aid.
Are you getting enough exercise during the day? If you normally just sit around (like me) that can impact your sleep. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/...n6119907.shtml

You should also limit any activity, including mental about two hours prior going to sleep.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
