Hi annie-mac
Have you ever tried self hypnosis cds? I have quite a few titles by Glenn Harrold (available on Amazon or Play.com) and I think they're really good (you need to use them regularly for best results). My mum is a terrible sleeper so I recently encouraged her to get the one called 'Deep Sleep Every Night'. Fingers crossed it seems to have done the trick for her.
Might be worth a try.
Love Catweazle x

Hi there
Thank you so much. I will give this a try. The thing about using these sleep aids is that it does make you fall asleep but I don't think you get a really good sleep and you wake up feeling awful. I've felt like this now for 3 years!!! I recently started a job doing night shift (which I've since left!) and the first day after night shift I couldnt sleep at all. I then did another night shift and slept in the conservatory. I slept for 3 hours but that's the most refreshed I've felt in 3 years. I actually took the dogs out and really enjoyed the countryside because I was awake enough to notice.
Does anybody know if these nytol tablets and the like are addictive? And if they don't give you a real sleep - more a coma-like sleep (like sleeping tablets!)?
I'd be really interested to know. I'm going to have a look on amazon to see about these CDs. Thanks again.
Annie

I go through periods of not sleeping all night and the last few days is one of them. No particular reason, but awake at 2.30 for about and hour and half. Gave up tonight, hence browsing here. My theory being, when I've tired myself out enough, I'll sleep again.... :-\

I have had my 3 sessions of hypnotherapy, she promised me 6 hrs unbroken sleep, but thats not yet happened, unfortunately the sweats occur at least 2 hly, but i do find im back to sleep much quicker than i was and feel less stressed about it, i now have a CD to use 3x a week.
