SEE YOUR DOCTOR!: Your problem is not just insomnia, you system is high energy and a complete pe with blood testing will help pin point the problem. The unisom will add to the confusion. Begin a self-care wellness program of exercise, vits, magnesium, sleep, self/pro massage, chiropractor, heat, stretching. Watch you caffeine intake too. I use acupuncture.

This is excessive. !: Sleep hygiene is the usual approach for insomnia, sleeping medication should be taken in as needed basis . If u take them every night u get used to them and leads to increasing u doses...!
