Problem with sleeping pills is you become tolerant and subsequently require more and more until they either barely resolve the problem or you become reliant on them.
Insomnia is closely linked to how you feel about sleep psychologically – if you start to think that you will only sleep if you have a sleeping pill then effectively you are just enhancing the problem. I had suffered for 3 years and often went 4/5 nights with no sleep at all. The key for me was doing the natural things that allowed my brain to ‘prepare’ for sleep in the right way.Raise your core body temperature before bed, eat lots of trytophan/serotonin inducing rich foods, exercise, relax and most importantly – go to bed when you are tired, not necessarily just because you have been habitually taught that a certain time is ‘bed-time’. It is a gradual process Psychologically change pillows, bed, position, whatever. i personally would avoid pills altogether
