I'm so tired of

[skypilot]

36. My sleeping problem was a little different from yours.

I wouldn't wake up and not be able to get back to sleep, I would have a terrible time falling asleep to begin with. The thing that worked for me (and hopefully can work for you) was iodized salt. While trying to find a fix for my insomnia I stumbled upon a website that listed the symptoms of iodine deficiency. I was exhibiting every symptom, with insomnia being the worst one. I simply replaced my non-iodized salt with iodized salt and also bought a bottle of iodine supplement from The Vitamin Shoppe. I would put several dashes of salt in some water sometime before going to bed. It worked like a charm for me. At first, I was afraid that it might just be a placebo effect but it has been about three years now and I have not had problems sleeping. If you don't have any issues with salt you might want to give it a try.
