I guess I'm not understanding what specifically is keeping you from relaxing/meditating - pain? shocks/jabs? anxiety? Some folks who are taking gabapentin or other meds for PN have the opposite problem - they can't stay awake.

I have some insomnia issues myself. I usually like to resolve them on my own like you (just not fight it until I fall asleep) but there are times when medical assistance is necessary/prudent.

Have you discussed this with your docs, and are they doing anything for you?
