Insomnia help suggestions for elderly person

[Marie2023]

Hello, I am looking for suggestions for medication for an elderly person with extreme insomnia. She only sleeps a couple of hours a night when her insomnia is bad and it is severely affecting her mental health.

Her GP has suggested the sleep clinic, but she's housebound!

We're desperate for help. Thank you.

My father takes zopliclone. Out like a light!

It's contra indicated in many health conditions.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Mum is so grateful. Thank you.

The Radio 4 Just One Thing series on insomnia is well worth checking out if you want to avoid medication:
