      I am 84 years old and in good health because I exercise, eat right and stay away from pharmaceuticals. This is inspite of the fact that I have insomnia and have had it since childhood. I managed to get off of temazepam with help from an APN. It caused so many problems that I cannot believe it is prescribed long term. I was not sleeping while taking it and I am not sleeping much now. I have used any number of supplements which includes CBD oil and cannibus and nothing works more than one night. I am at the point now that nothing helps. I am concerned about my heath failing and becoming subject to another flu attack that I barely survived two years ago. I welcome any suggestions.

        I am not surprised that you are in good health despite having insomnia — because there is no evidence that chronic insomnia causes any health problem whatsoever!

        I’m glad to hear that you managed to get off the temazepam. That is no small feat, so please be sure to give yourself credit for the effort that no doubt took.

        As you have experienced for yourself, supplements (including CBD oil) are not an effective treatment for chronic insomnia.

        Have you looked into cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) techniques?
