If you take it, may I ask how many mgs do you take and how well does it work? Any advice appreciated for this insomniac.
Start with the smallest dose. I tried it and did not like it. It created dreams that were very disturbing. DW takes a little bit once in awhile and doe okay. I think hers are 5mg.

I did a sleep study a couple of years ago. Probably the worst night sleep I ever had. Uncomfortable wiring harness, not my bed, and somebody was watching me!!! If I do it again it'll be with one of the take-home kits...I've been a lifelong insomniac. I've used melatonin occasionally, lowest effective dose is best. Keep in mind your body dumps melatonin naturally so you don't want to interfere with that.
I've used most OTC and prescription medications for sleep and after retirement it's much better, nobody calls me in the middle of the night anymore. My last huge change was after deviated septum surgery, wow! They asked about my sleep prior to surgery and I said it's great. I didn't know what good sleep was!
For me no alcohol, deep breathing, an occasional benadryl is good. Ever had a sleep study? I wish I'd done it decades ago.
Brain tapping, huh? How long do you actually do that tapping? I've never heard of that one. Probably wouldn't work if you keep waking up due to loud tinnitus. I get 3 to 5 hours most of the time , sometimes no sleep or just 1 or 2 hours. If I ever get more than 5, it's on a weekend or vacation, but often still come up shorter than that on sleep then as well.I've tried melatonin without success. This method, however, works for me.
