I concur with what oldude said. He described me every night. I still haven't found an answer to my sleep issues. I can lay in bed for hours and nothing. I also suffer from pain everyday and I'm done with the painkillers.... Makes me so sick. I will take some melatonin, or if I can find it some iSleep from meijers, and drink some whiskey it's a toss up if it works or not. I would also shy away from sleeping pills such as Ambien. I once woke up in the garage swinging an axe at an electric motor........ my wife says I did a lot of weird things while on it, plus, already suffering from depression, it increased it....so no more of that. It's best to try and get your body to rest naturally. You'll continue to get stronger and if you are on prescriptions for sleep, it could make it harder to do that. This is just a bump it the road for you. You'll get there. And when you do, you'll be stronger(not necessarily physically), wiser and be able to succeed easier(pun intended ha). Good luck
