This sleep pattern, only being able to sleep in spurts of 3-4 hours, is really weighing me down during my day.

I run about a mile every night because i read that exercise helps against insomnia. At this point, it feels like i'll never be able to sleep normally ever again. Do i need to wait a little more until my sleep goes back to normal? Do i need to exercise more? If you have experience with insomnia please share your story. Im trying to get through this without taking any sleep aids, like melatonin, benadryl, etc. Thanks in advance!
Hello. Congrats on your time. You are making it through this and it is awesome to see. I think your body will eventually fall into a deep sleep. I did have insomnia once last year for 1 month. It was horrible.
Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body. So, do you have an aversion with talking to your local product consultant in a health food store?
