Hi Abel,

Long story short my Mom did not sleep for a few months this past year due to stress because of an illness. I think it was months of her not sleeping. The doctor did not want her to take sleeping pills because of her condition and I didn't really want her to either. He said to take melatonin.

Eventually after taking melatonin every night an hour before bed after two weeks it started to work. Did you try it for about two weeks or longer? Occasionally in the beginning she might take two; one 1 hour before bed and another in the middle of the night. She took it for about a month and then she started to sleep normally again.

Of course she doesn't have a head injury and I understand your case is different but I would recommend trying the melatonin and sticking with it for a while.

Take care!
