Please help me with insomnia

I'm desperate. It's making my life very difficult. I need to be able to sleep to get through my day at work and to look after my children.

Last night was horrendous and I can barely function today. Went to bed tired at 11. I was still awake at 4am. Up at 8. I am prescribed zopiclone, but only 7 tablets per month, I allowed myself half of one at about 1am, but it didn't help.

I'm waiting to see a psychiatrist as I've struggled for years with depression and anxiety. I also self-harm and the exhaustion makes this worse. I'm not proud.

Please, if you have any tips, send them my way. I'm desperate. Thanks.

I often take melatonin, valerian, nytol and amitriptyline on the same night and still don't sleep.... I am trying the Effortless Sleep Solution recommended upthread. I really feel I can't go on sometimes.
