If anyone has any ideas for this, I would love to hear them.  It has been almost 40 hrs. since I last slept, even then the last time I slept was not a good sleep.  Woke up about every 40 to 60 minutes.  I know I can't keep going like this, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it.......

you can try to drink a warm glass of milk, as well as, you can listen to a classical music.

i would love to know myself how to get some sleep. have not had a good nights sleep in a couple of years and it seems lately it has got worse. here is my nightly routine, i have to sleep in a recliner or try to, get in the recliner around 11 pm, can't seem to relax and get to sleep so i lay down on the couch, lay there about 1/2 hour , can't go to sleep nor can i relax, then i get up and go lay down in the spare bed and can't relax and go to sleep and then i get back up and get back in the recliner and finally around 3 to 4 am i am able to fall asleep but as soon as the sun starts coming up around 6:30 am i am wide awake again and am not able to get any sleep during the day. so i am able to get from two to three hpours of sleep a night and there have been some nights i do not sleep at all. have talked to my doctor about this but she will not give me any sleeping pills, does not seem to hear me when i talk to her about my sleep problems. thought about calling a sleep lab but if i can't sleep then that would be a waste of time. am finding i am not alone in this. also thought about looking for another doctor . in do have some medical problems which includes high blood pressure, and diabetes, don't know if they paly a part in the sleep problems or not.
