is it just a recent thing, could something be playing on your mind.
You can do a sleep hygene programme is it persists didn't work for me but I know it does for others.
Try not to obsess by it. Do your normal routine and go to bed normally.
Switch the phone, tablet or whatever your on off and just rest, sometimes I get a couple of nights where I manage a full two hours before I wake up and can go back off again. Sometimes I must know I'm not going to sleep but I just rest. Mines getting a bit better now some nights i can get up to five hours.

you should get into a routine.. Stop watching telly, or look at any other screens.. The blue light can trigger yous brain to stay awake. Do something like take a shower.. Etc.. And also dont use your bedroom for other than sleeping or sex. Yous brain will associate your bedroom with sleep or sex then will behave accordingly. If you wake up in the night do not look at a phone or anything as the blue light will stimulate yous brain. |

My meds prevent me from having any semblance of a sleep pattern. Been awake since about 5pm yesterday. Can regularly go a couple of days without a wink, or just doze off in ma chair for a couple of hours  |

"Why not just buy Nytol from Boots?
Tempted to buy Kalms but don t like I idea of popping pills.
Not helping my cause I know."
I tried kalms but they didn't work after a while. ..I do use a sleep app on my phone though that plays a variety of sounds/noises. ..I can vary the sound level till I get a feeling of calm...timer switch for it to go off in set period. ..now occasionally fall asleep within 15 minutes  |

Im terrible for this. Even if i switch everything off im mostly tossing and turning all night. Nytol doesn't work and makes me groggy. I have backache so cannot get comfy so that don't help either! Opening a window usually helps especially if im too hot, im really funny about temperature.

I actually slept last night, 5 hours. YAY
I think talking/ sharing my problem took the tension out of it.
