my tattered wings
cannot ascend from this hell
but there are angels among me
together we can mend our wings
and fly

Morgan told me to try Melatonin, and I've been taking that for a couple of weeks now. I've been getting a few hours of sleep a night with that. Last week I came across Valerian Root, and although it doesn't make me tired, it relaxes me [i usually have really bad leg pain at night, but i haven't since i've been taking it]. So I've been taking the Valerian Root instead of the Melatonin lately [melatonin also gave me really bad nightmares]. I just wanted to throw that out there for anyone else who deals with Insomnia...And to ask if anyone else knows of anything else that would work...[tylenol pm, nyquil, antihistamines, etc. don't work at all]

So, this was kind of pointless, but... :)
