I have mild insomnia, and lemme tell you, it sucks.
Apparently, my nerves are the cause of it, so I was prescribed Hydroxyzine as a solution. But, that didn't work. I have something you could try though:
Surprisingly enough, an over the counter pill is helping me sleep. Melatonin is a naturally occurring compound that promotes sleep. It's produced in our brains, but is also found in milk (hence why people say milk helps them sleep).
You can buy it in pill form, at walmart or any drug store. Try it out. I take one pill 30 minutes before I plan on going to bed, and I usually don't have trouble getting to sleep. BUT, when I don't take it, my mind is like a machine gun, firing off ideas at an overheating rate.
