Insomnia

I'm wide awake, I feel tired. What can I do to help my body and mind say it's time for sleep? First time for me never had problems before. It's because of a new med as a side effect, it should go away but what about driving?!

Could be a side effect, ask your doctor.

It is but I wonder if other things may help. Anyone got ideas?

Some people swear by melatonin, and magnesium helps some people. Keep in mind that it may take awhile for either of these to work. I hope you find the solution soon! Not sleeping is really concerning.

I drink hot chamomile tea or hot peppermint tea right before bed and that seems to help relax me enough where I can sleep. Also i listen to the soothing music. Hope this helps.

I have no clue I have been up all night. I would give the melatonin a try, it has helped me before.

I have the solution as a longtime person with insomnia who has tried everything.

The store CVS Pharmacy (Or online)...sells OLLY Restful sleep Gummy Bears.

I take a 5mg of Melatonin everynight at 10:30...by 11 my eyes get heavy..I get in bed and chew 2 of these gummies and I never remember TRYING to fall asleep I just drift off and it is a good sleep...I wake up to use the bathroom in the night and go right back to sleep..I never had this experience before...I always would be wide awake when I went to bed..toss and turn...then it was a restless sleep...anytime I woke up to use bathroom..same thing..toss and turn.

I do take magnesium sometimes during the day..but all that does is seem to calm me down a little bit...since my benzos were cut down.
