If you just want to get a good kip and its a once off to get your pattern back, try a Benylin 4 flu tablet. (not joking)

But long term its difficult. I've suffered for years. Ear plugs help and I only drink coffee in the morning and NO stimulants (even tea) after say 3pm...

There's milk you can buy in Superquinn and Dunnes that helps you sleep. I think it's called lullaby milk or some crap like that.
Make a big mug of horlicks out of it and it might work.

Hey colm, that must be a total headwreck.
The only reason i couldn't sleep when i wanted to was when i was stressed out about something, so if that's the reason - try to sort out that thing you are stressed about... before you get into bed.
A friend sent me some cds of DR YAPKO talking about insomnia and being calm, he's got the sort of soporific voice that would send you to sleep, if you want to PM me your address i will send them off to ya.

As the ian said, try not to drink tea or coffee after the afternoon. Have a cup or two of camomile tea before ya go to bed. Deadly stuff, really relaxing. Insomnia can be terrible to deal with. The more it goes on the harder it feels to deal with. I've gone to the doctor before about it and thankfully he wouldn't give me sleeping tablets, even though at the time I was desperate for anything to give me a proper nights sleep. They're totally not the way to go and will just become a dependency. Best thing I've found is to try and get in a routine. Get up as early as ya can and try to get to bed at a regular time.

My old housmate cured his insomnia by staying up all night drinking coffee and listening to loud music with all the lights on. True story.

Huh, thats what I do

I've tried absolutely everything and haven't had much luck in the last 7 years. Better things that have been helpful is going to bed with a hot water bottle, stopping caffeine intake after 4pm and sprinkling lavender oil on my pillow and sheets.

It's an awful thing. The other night I ended up watching bowls on the telly, even that couldn't put me to sleep! A friend recommended this stuff. I just started it so I can't tell you if it's any use. I'd go with avoision (what..it's a word) of caffeine and the use of chamomile tea ( and possibly a joint) before bed though.

I find having no drink in the house helps.

I tend to have really bad insomnia quite a bit of the time.

Best i've found is not too consume any caffeine/stimulants after 3-4pm, don't eat after 10/11 (depending on what time you plan on going to bed), and read a book for an hour before hand while laying down.

And if I can't get too sleep I go through the night making/doing meaningless things with a bit of speed/thrash metal for good measure.

True story.

ive tried taking downers cant rember exactly what they were but i just ended stairing at the celing thinking i was gonna shite myself because i figured they would relax all my muscles including the sphinkter muscle, the joys of drug paranoia combined with the fun of no sleep

even after drinking im still not passing out like i used to,
mite give the camomile tea a shot and if that dosent work i guess ill give up on trying to sleep untill i eventually crash and burn
