I just don't know what else to do ladies.  I have tried the hot cup of tea or cocoa (I am not a coffee drinker) at bedtime, but that doesn't help.  I have taken warm/hot showers or baths and they do nothing for me (ok, my muscles are more relaxed, but it didn't relax me enough to go to sleep)   I have tried going to bed early and I just lay there and toss and turn for hours (sometimes till 3am in the morning).  All natural muscle relaxants release muscle tension but don't make me sleep. 

So I have been taking Tylenol PM lately to sleep better (doc told me she could write me a script for a sleeping pill, but it would be expensive and our insurance won't pay for them, so she suggested the Tylenol PM), but taking 2 does nothing for me.  Taking 3 helps make me sleepy, but some nights I am still tossing and turning at 1, 2, and 3am even though I try to be in bed by 10pm. 

I have a prescription for an anxiety pill (it came in handy when my parents died and I was having major panic attacks), and doc told me I could take several if needed to help me go to sleep.  So I took 40mg and 3 Tylenol PM tonight as well as 3 (normal dosage) os the muscle relxants because I am a little sore today after seeing the chiropractor and getting my ribs put back in place.

It is 10:45 now (I took the meds a little after 9), and I am finally getting a little sleepy.  I am going to go lay down and see if I can in deed fall asleep finally. 

Do any of you have any ideas for me other than the drugs to knock me out to get to sleep???  I am desperate for some help!  Thanks in advance!
