Hi livelivetothefullest, You need to ask your doctor for a sleep medication. Sleep is very very important for our overall health and quality of life. Alot of us need a sleep med/aid and benefit tremendously from taking it! You may have to try a few different ones to find the one that works best for you. But it's definitely worth the quest to find it! Because you're fighting for yourself! An over the counter sleep med is Unisom with ingredient Doxylamine. Make sure it has that ingredient.....because it works great! Also a generic brand if Benadryl also works great. Ingredient is diphenhydramine. Good luck!
