      Hi, I'm Mel. I suffer from chronic (meaning every single night of my life for years) insomnia. I have a difficult time getting to sleep and ALWAYS wake between 2 and 4 unless I'm medicated. I hate taking drugs because I am so groggy the next day. I feel like I've tried virtually everything under the sun, every med, and every natural solution without resolving this. I fear this could become fatal. How can one keep going without ever recharging?

      I have my own business and it takes work and energy. I have none.

      HELP!

            Martin,

            Thanks for the reply. I see you're on the coast of Oregon. We are going there on vacation next month and plan to move to the Pacific Northwest in 2 years. I'm hoping a new environment may help me sleep!

              Awesome! What area are you visiting? I'm on the North Coast – it's a beautiful part of the world, but the rain can be brutal! That being said, it keeps everything nice and green throughout the summer.

                    Hey Mel, just recently joined too and suffered from insomnia on and off thru the years. Now, it's back with avengance. Currently on Lunesta but really don't want to take that. I was told that removing myself from my bedroom and going to sleep in a different room will help. I'm going to try that. My doc says lots of his patients swear by it. Changes in latitude is suppose to help too and since I'm having a bad bout with it my husband and I are going to go away for a few days to test that theory. Will update my posts. Will get a room with a view (just in case).
