    What does your doctor say about it?

    I need to meditate or go for walks at night. Tried some relaxation techniques.. just the usual. He has suggested sleeping pills, but then when I do wake, I am so out of it and can't function at work

    I have always struggled to sleep too, is this a new thing for you? Did anything change around the time it started? I think you can adapt eventually.

    Melatonin. Yoga. No TV/phone/iPad etc before bed. No caffeine after 3:00 in the afternoon.

    I agree with the comments above. It's amazing the underlying stressors that convenient electronics place on our bodies. I say that as a fully functional sleep deprived adult who works out daily without fail as I type on my IPhone late into the night and my tv staring at me in the distance.
