Ugh, and you have my sympathy. Well, a recent study showed that prescription sleep aids cause people to fall asleep 10 minutes earlier than non-medicated people, they really aren't that effective.

Maybe start with simple stuff. Cut out all alcohol. No more allergy meds. Back off on the coffee. Is your room dark, quiet, and cool? Do you go to sleep then wake up, or can you not fall asleep in the first place?



Most 90 year old people only need 5 hours of sleep a night. Are you 90?

This can be tough to figure out.
