No question?: If this new strategy is working for you, that is great! it's hard to understand what you mean by "no relaxation or wood", but you might know. You do still list trazodone which is a sleep medication for many people. Hopefully your doctor(s) are aware of your decisions and can support you in your efforts to improve this important aspect of a healthy life-style. Best!

Sleep: Since you have tried many medications for sleep it may be useful to change your lifestyle if you have not already. Daily exercise before 3pm, no caffeine after 3pm, no alcohol in the evening. If these methods do not work consult with a clinical psychologist who can help uncover the difficulties preventing sleep and how to develop better coping skills. My best.
