Insomnia is a common sleep disorder. With insomnia, you may have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting good quality sleep. This happens even if you have the time and the right environment to sleep well. Insomnia can get in the way of your daily activities and may make you feel sleepy during the day.



I don't have it, but started having sleep issues in 1999 and I was late 50's and after menopause started. I woked many yrs to get good sleep and I'll list some of the supports I've used:

Inositol w Choline or Inositol alone
Low dose Melatonin -- taken a good hr before hitting pillow

L Tryprophan -- Take this to get back to sleep when I would wake up mid nigtt.(these 2 take about an hr before ready to hit pillow.
B 6 - Take with L Tryptophan for same reason, to get back to sleep.

Calms tablet, learn to work with it for your body.

I start with the above about 9:30PM and ready for good sleep at 11:30- or so.

Get TV and gadgets out of your sleep room.


Do some research on the above and learn about them to help you.

I dont have a really good place to sleep so YES I have it...... I take ZZZ SLEEP and still it takes me along time to get to sleep!!

I used to take ZZZ QUIL until they changed the ingredients and now it has SUCRALOSE (Instead of HFCS) and Xantham Gum.. Absolutely disgusting!!

I hope the other stuff doesnt do this!!!!!

You don't have a good place to sleep? What does that mean, don't you live in a house with your father? No bedroom for you to sleep in?

You are welcome, take some action, make changes. It's up to you...

All you people too, had your Vit D levels checked out?? Simple enough to do.

Personally I have a history of good stores of Vit D as I was in the Sun for major years in my life and the Vit D stores were filled up and as I came in from the Sun I found how I had to supplement to keep Vit D levels in healthy place.

Think about this scenerio in your own life...were you in Sun a lot of your life?
