Please can anyone help me? insomnia is driving me mad - I get it at least 3/4 nights a week it's seems to be worse since xmas when I had the cough cold virus. I've suffered from insomnia a large part of my life. I feel tired in the evening then I get to bed and read til I feel drowsy then once I try to go to sleep I can't relax, my mind goes into overdrive, my breathing seems to speed up and I end up tossing and turning til about 3 or 4 o'clock
I used to wake up when I was kid with asthma now it seems like I wake if I'm worried or stressed, if I'm in someone else's house, if I eat a heavy meal, if I've got to get up early - anything!!
I've tried loads, I got zopiclone from the doc but they make me feel nauseous and car sick and I don't want to become dependent on pills, I've tried valerian, phenergan and antihistamine, magnesium lavender oil I try to get fresh air and exercise by walking our dog
I don't know what to do anymore im turning into a zombie
Help!
