Re: Can't sleep!
I recall that once I hit menopause my sleep patterns got totally out of kilter. Like you, I would just BE awake! And our bodies have been put into a menopausal state now with all the hormones being suppressed I tried different sleep medications and disliked the effects. But I discovered that one Ativan tablet relaxes my mind enough to allow for sleep. I find I can still wake during the night if needed and I don't have a morning hangover. It's not really a sleeping pill but anti-anxiety that provides just enough drowsiness
Hope this might help
Keep the faith
