Yes: Trazodone could be quite helpful. Best wishes. Practice good sleep hygiene, try melatonin, chamomille tea, l- threanine, kava kava or valerian. See one of dr heidi fowler's posts on good sleep hygiene on healthtap. Also, if these do not work, see you doctor about a sleep study. Best wishes.

Melatonin: Ck w/your doc first and don't take w/other sleeping meds or if pregnant. Melatonin (a hormone) can be helpful for sleep. Take one hour prior to going to bed and a very small dose--many folks take 1 or 2 mg. Peace and good health. I've not seen any "hang over" side effects. Peace and good health.
