melatonin
I did use mine last night and thanks for the reminder of how it can have side effects. I don't use it very often.
I did sleep all the way through the night -- no 2 or 3 AM waking up and just being awake,
but I do take melatonin with caution.
I, too, have had insomnia off and on during different times of my life. Ugh. I am (sort of) used to it, but always looking for ways to destress and/or rest, and actually sleep. Sleep is so wonderful.
I do believe I am caffeine free though -- not having any in my tea, so that's a huge plus.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Here's wising you all a good day.

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
