One thing that truly helped me in my insomnia was melatonin. It's a dietary supplement sold in a lot of drug stores around the country, and it works with the frontal lobe in your brain and is activated by light cues... So if it's dark, you'll start to feel tired. There are plenty of other sleep meds out there, a lot of non-narcotic anxiety medications have been prescribed for sleep issues... You just kinda have to shop around. I wouldn't suggest Ambien or Lunesta or anything of that nature...

Also, exercise can help. Keeping active and doing a lot of things during the day usually helps me too. The minute I lay around and get lazy, the more awake I am.

Hope this helps! Good luck! I know how bad insomnia sucks... There are a lot of ways to help!
