I have Insomnia and I've had it up to here with the medical establishment

[kopfhorer]

The short version: My body only wants to sleep 2-5 hours a night no matter how tired I am.

My thyroid test is "fine".

My doctor, who I thought was a fairly reasonable, knowledgeable dude, suggested Ambien, which is nasty stuff (tried it) or some other such highly-advertised sleep remedy. They don't help one bit.

Exercise makes no difference either.

I feel like I'm trapped with no way out.

I've thought of using a naturopath, but I've no idea how good the one in town is. My chiropractor has come up blank too.

I'd appreciate any advice anyone here could give.

Well the first time I tried cannabis I slept for more than ten hours after the effects wore off. Not trying to push it on you but you could give it a try, it usually makes me really sleepy although it does depend on what strain it is. You could also try Valerian or Lunesta, not sure if Lunesta works though. Other then that you could try counting sheep or ask your doctor for a different sleep medication
