Having trouble sleeping at night. Any solutions? Serious answers only, please.?

Question:

I yawn and am tired, yet, when I lay down to sleep, i can't shut my mind off. I've tried Tylenol PM, but it doesn't work. I don't want to take any OTC sleep pills or RX pills because I don't want to become dependant. I just want to keep from screwing up my sleep schedule. It happened once before where I basically went to bed at 5 am and woke up at 1 pm. I don't like it, but one night I can't sleep and it messes me up really easily and is hard to fix. Is there some remedy? Should I see a doc and try the new drug lunesta? Please help!

Answers:
I have a hard time sleeping at night. Im in the same situation, but I moved from California to Texas and now I dont feel tired or fall asleep till 4-5am and then wake up around 1. I hate it and I try taking a hot bath at night before I fall asleep and that helps a little. Plus i started going running at night and that helps too. I also wake up early no matter what time I fall asleep. So if I fall asleep around 5, I still wake up around 9:30 so that way Im really tired at night. When that doesnt work, I still would like to try Lunesta. You might want to try some of those things before taking medicine, but if nothing works.....then you should give it a shot but be sure to talk to your doctor anyway and try all those things and then if they dont help, tell your doctor to prescribe lunesta.

it helps to take a really warm bath right before u want to go to bed then dont turn on any bright lights afterwards. drinking hot tea after that bath might help too.
