[InsomniaperMan]

I have been put on some new medicine and have come down with insomnia. I have started exercising and drinking warm milk before I go to bed and can get to sleep now. But when I wake up in the middle of the night I can never go back to sleep.

I have tried getting out of bed and doing some reading. I never spend more than 20 minutes in bed without going back to sleep.

Can any of you give some of your advice.

Thank you.

If your sleep is being disrupted exclusively because of the medication you are on, behavioral techniques such as stimulus control (getting out of bed when unable to sleep) may not be as helpful as we would otherwise expect.

When did you start taking the medication and how long are you expected to be taking it for? Is sleep disruption a known side-effect of the medication?
