Okay, I have had insomnia for the past 5 years, and it’s getting unmanagable. I am not a candidate for medication, because I have medical problems that would make it a dangerous situation. Basically, I could take the right amount and overdose, or I’d sleep for 16 hours straight (this has happened.) And, on the rare occasion I do fall asleep without ‘passing out’ from exhaustion, I have these horrible nightmares that make me: wake up, talk, or kick my boyfriend in the groin.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have tried: exercise (worked for a few months, then made no difference), teas, music, removing the electronics from my bedroom, meditation, sex, St Johns Wort (made me sick), lavender sprays on pillows, eating a small turkey sandwich at night, and things I can’t even recall.
