I have sleep apnea where my brain tells my body to stop breathing over 20 times per hour....I still can not get to sleep at night even with the C-pap on me. If I have a strenuous day it's worse than ever. I'm on clonozepan and I take extra Magnesium to help with muscle tightness to relax my muscles so I can calm down enough to get to sleep, although I'm so sleepy all day long it's strange that I "wake up" in the evening and can't get to sleep!

Sleeping has been brutally difficult for me & the medicine seems to work but it takes 4 to 5 hours.
My brain injury was in December of 2006. I was in a coma for 32 days so it was rather serious.
Can someone PLEASE suggest something that has helped them sleep! Lunesta has been a joke for me too.
Any ideas folks??? ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!!!!
