Last fall I had insomnia for 3 months. It was so strange getting a 2nd wind at midnight while the rest of the world slept. Was falling asleep anywhere between 2 – 4 am and waking at 6 or 7 am, usually averaging 3 or 4 hours. I found a link about foods for insomnia and gave it a try. I can’t say that it worked but it made me feel sleepier. I spoke with my DSIL and she said she had used Melatonin and it helped her. I was going to give it a try but oddly enough I fell asleep that night at 11:15 and slept through the night. It’s been better since then. Maybe the change in eating helped over time? I don’t know. Here is a link that can hopefully help some of you. It isn’t the exact one I had before but basically the same info.
