After I had my third child, my sleep patterns changed, and without going into the whole story, the result was going on a weak dose of Elavil every night before sleep, and then I slept all night. without it, I cannot fall asleep. Has something to do with serotonin reuptake inhibitors. That child is not 23, and I suspect I will be on this med for life
Now, I take the pill, an hour later I go to bed, asleep in 10 minutes, wake up about 7 1/2 hours later
