Hello @ArraDreaming and thanks for the tag @Former-Member 

Lack of Sleep is awful and I suffered from insomnia for years after my h died often going into work after no sleep at all.

Finally I discussed it with my GP who eventually gave me antidepressant meds which have been amazing.

I tried all the calming routines, counting sheep, talking to the shepherd, dark room, going to bed at the same time, rain forest music, camomile, alcohol...you name it I tried it so for me, the meds have worked wonders.

Talk to your GP as a starter and take care. 💜
