I have a really big problem falling asleep and sometimes, staying asleep.

I hate taking any medication for virtually any reason.

Sometimes I will take a double shot of NyQuil just to get some sleep. I’ve tried their “Sleep formula” but it doesn’t work for me.

I’ve also tried OTC sleep aids with no success.

Nyquil is the only thing that actually works for me.

I love the stuff.

Most excellent post. Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear about sleeping issues. Prayers. Problem: 60% of Americans sleep poorly. Sleep is very fragile. Solution: Exercise, eat well, take a vitamin at dinner, and move focus from word-making to image-making. If I am stressed, then I form words (”I need more money!). If I am sleepy, then I form images (picturing silly stuff like my brother walking on the beach).
What others have said here: Honey, warm milk, chocolate milk, red wine, avoid sugar, Somnupure, Sominex, Nyquil, Melatonin, Magnesium, Herbal muscle relaxer, Adventure fiction, chin strap, tv, soft music, nature sounds, eye mask, C-pap machine, yellow glass for reading late at night.
