Insomniacs safe house

[RLT63]

Does anyone else have trouble sleeping? What do you do about it?
I used to take Ambien but I would find that I had gotten up in the night and posted on Facebook and ate but I couldn’t remember it. One night I woke up in my truck and I had ran into a power pole and I had no idea how I got there.
Then for a while I took Klonopin for sleep but it made me a zombie, so I was weaned off of it and now I take Seroquil one night and Doxepin the next. Alternating them helps to keep them working well. But the Doxepin doesn’t work as well so I take a supplement called Somatomax with it. Only now I can’t get anymore, it’s banned in Alabama.
So this week I went without sleep Tuesday, slept good Wednesday night and most of the day Thursday, slept Thursday and Friday night, then didn’t sleep at all last night

I have occasional nights when I just can't switch off, but after lying there for more thanan hour I get up. make a hot drink - decaffeinated - read for a while and then go back to bed.

Yes, sometimes I can do that but not lately

I have found that relaxing my eyes is a good way to get to sleep. When I can't switch off I have noticed that my eyes aren't relaxed. If I relax them sleep often follows. If your eyes are relaxed you can't keep thinking.

Yes, I let my eyes relax and every breath out I say "Sleep " to try to get everything off my mind. It works sometimes
