Nightly.  Got some temazipam a few weeks ago.  Worked ok one night, another night nothing. 

Ever try remembering your dream from the night before while in bed?  Or just let your mind wander where it wants?  Bah!  What the hell do I know...

Only when I try to sleep.

Same here.

When i TRY to sleep, i lay awake for hours.

When i fall asleep on the couch for no reason, i sleep no problem.

I wake up several times at night as well. Do you wake up too or do you sleep the whole night through?

you have insomnia because you have anxiety. you are worried about something. Find out what is bothering you and deal with it.

I almost never have a problem going back to sleep as long as it is dark. if the sun is up i usually have a hard time falling back alseep. i have thick black curtians in my bedroom for this reason.

i wake up at least once every night, either to piss or just for no reason.

Falling asleep the first time is the hardest part, but i have found that meditation works very well unless i am really stressed out and my mind won't stop racing.

i think my problem is anxiety.

ZMA, L-tryptophan, Benedryl all work well for me.

I did at the job..currently I don't, which is why I wonder why it hasn't improved...maybe burnout? ???
