It was about 8 months before I could really sleep. I think I do better since I began sleeping good.

I still have some insomnia but without my gabapentin (Neurontin), I have horrible insomnia. With it, I just need to use good sleep hygiene. I need to be in comfortable pajamas, soft sheets, proper temperature, empty bladder, etc. If I get any thought before falling to sleep, like, the garbage needs to go out in the morning, I am better of if I get up and do it then.
Then my brain can release the thought. Sometimes, I just need to go write a note on my white board on the refrigerator to remind me in the morning. Do not try to take any thoughts or tasks to bed. I have needed to do this for over ten years. It works well for me.
