Hi

I have had insomnia for twelve years.  I had it as a child too, but then it went away when I started work.  Now I can't work it has returned.

I have tried many things, and I think that may be the key.  Finding what works for you and keep looking.

I need to change my bedding, pillows etc, but can't afford to at the moment.

I have however invested in a really good app called bettersleep.  They do a free trial.  It includes meditations, stories, AMSR noises that you can mix, a sleep tracker, and music..... I am using it during the day also. What I really like is that you can play the meditations on a continuous loop indefinately, so it isn't necessary to keep fiddling with glasses/iPad etc.

I also have an audible book I listen to - a Ruth Rendall, nothing gory.  However, I have NO idea what it is about, I just use it to have the voice drone on all night.  

Lavendar oil on your pillow can help.  A hot water bottle is kinda cosey.  A cushion or soft toy.  Nice pajamas.  Soft lighting...I have some fairy lights by the side of the bed, like christmas lights.....basically anything that relaxes you and puts you into a nice place...

Just some ideas.  I am still working on it, and any ideas you find will be welcomed!

All the best
