I have insomnia due to pain meds I take. I am usually up till 3am every morning. I finally tried a relaxation tape sounds silly but for the last 2 nights I have been in bed by midnight! (I downloaded it on my cell phone it is an app) I wake up refreshed and the tape is just a way to help relax me I was a skeptic until my husband who has severe sleep apnea tried it and has had no apnea since he has used it. The side effects of that drug for me was not good so I have put up with the lack of sleep for almost a year now. Good luck!
