Default I know you must be tired.
I have had trouble sleeping through the night as long as I can remember. I have never taken anything for it. I am up and down, I snack and drink milk and pop. I watch TV with earphones. I read. Sometimes I take long warm showers.

Now that I don't HAVE to get up and go to work...it is much easier.

I sympathize with you. I think all you can do is just stay up until you fall asleep and stay busy while you are up or do some boring repetitive activity like knitting. I imagine it takes time for the dependency on sleep drugs to completly leave you. Good luck. I would stay away from taking anything, even homopathic things. But that is just me.
