Can anyone recommend a sleeping tablet that works please?

[Fabster]

I am feeling pretty low emotionally and physically and are absolutely shattered. I wake up every morning and it is a struggle to get out of bed. Ideally I would go to bed when the kids do and get a good 11 hours in. Never going to happen naturally so I just want a helping hand. It isn't something I am planning on doing often but I need some sleep.

fabster - if it works then do it! I do sometimes have a glass of warm milk before retiring (after my glass of red wine though )
ONce I have slept well for a couple of nights, I do go to bed happy in the knowledge that I can do it and that does defo make a difference. I also have the Paul McKenna 'I can make you sleep' book and CD. Not sure if it works alone but it definitely gives the message that this is a temporary affliction as all humans are capable of sleep. Hope you get some zzzzz tonight (hope we all do for that matter

soz for duplicate message - one of the kittens leapt on teh keyboard!

jajas - i hope it does help. just a warning thoughy - I had Amitrypitaline from docs - same doseage as you - it did work temporarily but a side effect is a dreadful dry mouth. Stock up on squash or sweets to suck sweet dreams!

zopiclone are a godsend for me, through the gp (mine is ok about giving them to me in moderation)

sominex which are over the counter, made my legs shake all night, nytol was ok

I uses Melatonin for regulating my sleeping cycle. Due to work at irregular time, my sleeping cycle changes completely and leads to insomnia. My doctor suggest me to have it before 2 hrs going to bed. Local chemist doesn't have this. So, I purchased it from Pharmica (www.pharmica.co.uk)
