I thought I'd share this. I had insomnia so bad and tried many things but I checked into "natural" remedies after talking to someone. This is what I found works for me: Sleepytime Extra caffeine free tea. Promotes relaxation and has calming valerian in it. I also add 28 drops of passionflower to a small amount of water and drink that first. I find that within half an hour to 45 minutes I'm closing my eyes. I feel more relaxed in the morning and no drozziness like sleep aids.

Have you been diagnosed with fibro? There is not an easy explaination of what fibro is. If you google it, you will see all of the symptoms of fibro. Everyone is different and has different symptoms. The main one is widespread pain all over your body. The next one that most people have is chronic fatigue which is total exhaustion even after being in bed for 8 plus hours.(not necessarily sleeping for 8 hours) I am happy if I get 3 hours of sleep in a row. Some nights I wake up every half hour. By not sleeping good our bodies can not heal. Healing ha]pens when you get rem sleep which most people with fibro never get into. There are many more symptoms but not everyone has all of them. As for treatment, each person will get relief from different medications. It is a trial and error process. Sometimes it takes years to get the right combo of meds that help. Some people never get relief. I hope this helps you. Let us know if you have anymore questions. Google fibro and it will give you a complete list of symptoms. Good luck and have a great day.
