I've suffered from insomnia for most of my adult life, which is more than likely self-inflicted, due to the life-choice of working shift-work.
I work 12 hour shifts (each shift is 7:30 to 7:30): 2 days, 2 nights, then for days off.
I've tried everything over the years: Restavit, Phenergan, Melatonin, Valerian Root, etc.
The big difference I've made to my lifestyle recently, is quitting caffeine. As of today, it has been 28 days. And I used to love it. Went through a vicious cycle of energy drinks, etc. No more coffee, coke, ice-coffee, etc. Sleep has gradually been getting better. Next step is to quit alcohol.
