I have trouble falling asleep. It takes me at least an hour or more to fall asleep. I have tried taking melatonin and have tried other sleeping pills prescribed by my previous childhood doctor. The only thing that?s able to get me to fall asleep is pills that cause drowsiness (niquil, allergy medicine ). Once i?m asleep, if I don?t get more than 9ish hours I feel way to tired and under slept. Yesterday I slept 10 hours and still needed a nap (3 hour nap) this is normal for me. What i?m confused with is to me I can?t tell whether it sounds like insomnia or hypersomnia. If so how do I treat it? Are there any over-the- counter pills I can take for sleeping that cause drowsiness so I don?t have to take something like allergy or nasal just to sleep?

Do you nap in daytime or do you sleep till late in morning. If yes then stop it. You need to change your habits. Try to go to bed early. Stop watching tv or mobile phone etc atleast an hour before going to sleep. Drink warm milk before going to bed. Even if you not able to sleep do not start chatting on what's app or face book etc. Don't sleep till late in morning. Eat healthy well balanced food. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before bed time. Also dinner should be light do some kind of exercise daily. Slowly your sleeping timings will change. It will take time. Have patience. Get your thyroid profile, cbc, blood sugar fasting checked from some lab.For more details you can consult me.
