Hi, @underedwardstale2018 -- I am sure you must be frustrated with trying to get some sleep and having trouble doing so for nearly two years. What I've done here is to merge your post with a previous long, yet a bit older, thread on insomnia and depression, in hopes that some of the members might return and give you their insights on dealing with insomnia that is related to depression and anxiety.

I also think that @jimhd, @sandysandytoes14, @gailb, @coloradogirl, @panewdayphyl, @oldkarl and @amberpep may have some thoughts for you.

You might check out this thread on sleep hygiene to see if any of the tips there might help you: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/sleep-hygine/bookmark/?ajax_hook=action&_wpnonce=986e905a25

Have you by chance mentioned this sleep issue to your doctor and mentioned you'd like some tips on self-care that would not involve medication?

Hi there underedwardstale2018 .... interesting name tag you have there. Actually, for me not being able to sleep, or falling asleep and waking in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep, was a big symptom of serious depression ..... one of the hallmarks I believe. Aside from that, I have friends who take Melatonin (otc homeopathic) and have great success with that. But, I'd think about the depression part seriously. Take care of yourself.
Best wishes,
abby

I haven't mentioned that to my doctor actually, that is a good idea.

Sorry, wrong person.
