I completely relate. I try listening to meditation stories on my phone but still no success unless I take more Benadryl and klonopin.

Does it get you to sleep and keep you asleep? I take ativan 3 x a day and am careful what I add to that in addition to the medrol for r/a. I am just about at the point of giving in to wakefulness and getting rest when I can. This morning I awoke at 3 AM in absolute terror of nothing in particular - just being alone except for dog Daisy. I tried that 3-3-3 thing where you identify 3 things you can see, 3 things you can touch, and 3 sounds you can hear. Did some diaphragmatic breathing and it halted. Finally got up and took Daisy for a short walk in the dark. The air was fresh and clear and the fear ceased. I hate to think about sleeping with a light on like a 2 year old because I know that is a bad policy for sleep hygiene but any port in a storm.
