    I'm having real trouble getting to sleep going on a week now. Any tips? I went for a doctor visit about it Thursday. He just thinks it's anxiety. I haven't been able to swim for 2 months, so I haven't been exercising. Yoga was recommended, but so far I'm still just laying there for hours trying to fall asleep.  If I take enough melatonin I'll get to sleep, but that makes me feel groggy when I wake up. It's real frustrating to not be able to fall asleep normally.

    Yesterday I had a really busy day, I mowed grass and trimmed at 2 places, for a total of about 4 hours, and had to do grocery shopping and household chores. I was very active and yet I still couldn't fall asleep until about 3am this morning. It sucks.

      One 5mg Melatonin tablet about 30 minutes before going to bed does it for me every time.

      Maybe you're taking too high a dose if you're feeling bad the next day.

      My advice is take one Tylenol PM or Sleep Aid pill (just the diphenhydramine) plus one quarter (or up to a half) tab of melatonin, about an hour and a half before bedtime...Fine if it kicks in earlier...I don't overdo the melatonin because you may sleep so deep, that to wake up, your body gives you a nightmare (not everyone has this issue)...Then of course, drink coffee to focus the mind when you wake up !  Best of luck!

      I think I'm through the insomnia episode. I was worrying about falling asleep, and that perpetuated the anxiety about it. So, I finally came to peace with the fact that I just might not fall asleep quickly. Started watching When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth (1970) and fell asleep before it was over, and had a normal night. Didn't even take any melatonin. Here's to hoping it was just a phase.
