Acupuncture also helps a lot if you find a good acupuncture practioner.

I find that taking a calcium/magnesium supplement is quite helpful...if you

haven't tried it already....< smiles>

Hi. If the problem is hormonal, I don't know if this will help. However, I had

horrible insomnia for quite some time. I had difficulty falling asleep and then

wouldn't remain asleep for more than 30 minutes to an hour before waking up

again and feeling wide awake. I tried the TV watching, too, to try to fall back

asleep. Anyway, I began drinking a cup of chamomile and mint tea every other

night and it has worked. I don't drink the tea quickly; rather, I sip on it

slowly. Once in a while I wake up for a few moments but, for the most part, I

sleep through the night (which is about six hours of sleep for me). Anyway, just

a suggestion. Good luck.
