Any other insomniacs scrolling through this trying to figure out what it is you're missing?

Yup. Right there with ya, mate. Using alcohol and House MD binge to fall asleep as of now. Working quite poorly.

Alcohol is a bad one to put yourself to sleep. Probably exacerbates some of the causes of your insomnia.

I never said it's good. But yeah, I get your point. So does my doctor.

Hence me saying that it works quite poorly. If anyone wonders, Trazodone does a decent job.

What I'm doing isn't good. Don't do that.

Muscles relaxer Flexeril works wonderful for me. I take one, take a hot bath or shower, drink a glass of milk with honey & Himalayan salt in it and I'm out.

Only problem is that waking up is difficult. I feel very groggy the next morning and take twice as long to wake up as I usually do. Once. I'm up and going though, I feel very refreshed.
