You : You are correct, Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) would not be a recommended or safe sleep aid. There are many different sleep medications however that would be safe try try, so please discuss your severe insomnia with your doctor. There are many non-addictive, safe sleep medications that you can try. There are some other ideas: you may have already tried not drinking caffeine after noon, not exercising too close to bedtime, and not using your computer or tv within an hour of bedtime. Consider adding "white noise" such as a fan. Be sure that your room is cool and not overly warm. Eating light during the day, then having a larger meal at around 7 pm or so can be helpful.
