Thank you everyone for the advice. I already have set myself a bedtime that I strictly stick to, in fact it drives my parents crazy that I refuse to go to bed at any other time and won't deviate even 1 minute from my set bedtime except on rare occasions. This may be part of my problem but I have tried going to bed at a different time and it seems to make no difference in the amount of time it takes for me to fall asleep. It has just always taken me anywhere from 1-3 hours to fall asleep. I always take my trazodone 1 hour before going to bed and it makes no difference other than it helps me stay asleep.

Mari, thank you for your advice on the breathing exercises. That is something that I completely forgot about and will have to try again. I never heard of the 4 7 8 technique and will have to give it a try.
