I suffered from terrible insomnia, often waking in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep. I started taking LDN for my fibromyalgia. It helped with that disease and also helped my insomnia.
Here is one article about how naltrexone can help with sleep: https://neurolaunch.com/naltrexone-and-sleep/

@daisy17 LDN when used for sleep alone is off label and considered experimental so there is not much research on its effectiveness. Funny when I asked my new doctor about it she said she would not give it to me for sleep. When I saw a second doctor and asked about it he said for me to take higher dose gabapentin for my fibromyalgia and it should help with sleep. Frustrating to say the least. Now trying vagus nerve stimulation. I get roughly 4 hours of sleep most night with two awakenings. Get up go to bathroom back about every hour to hour and a half until I finally give up and just get up and find something to do.
