Anyone had it and conquered it? I've had it for 5.5 months and even though my wee girl is now sleeping quite well my insomnia continues. Docs suggest antidepressants but I'm not depressed...just can't sleep. I've tried homeopathic stuff to no avail.

Anyone got any theories or success stories?

no coffee or caffeine products after 3pm....warm milk before bed...

i know some people on another board had good results with milky chamomile tea, so maybe give that a go.

I'm guessing that you've tried all the usual suspects like warm milk drinks, bath half an hour before etc so I'll go straight for the drug route...

Phenergen (the anti-histamine) is a good, low level sleep inducer. Drug information sheet is here -> Medsafe
And it is available as a pharmacy-only medicine - talk to the pharmacist.

Writing in a journal before bedtime so you can get everything off your mind?

I know! I try to call it quits at 8.30pm every night, but I have so much work on at the moment it's just crazy! And I am a bit of a workaholic
