I can't sleep

I am having such a hard time getting good sleep… I have an aweful time falling asleep and then wake up several times throughout the night…(or day) when I work the nightshift…I have always worked nights and have never had a serious sleeping issue til now. I take Ambien CR and most nights it takes an hour to kick in so I fall asleep and then I’m awake in a couple hours. I take other meds for TN that supposedly have a side effect of being drowsy…I guess I don’t have this side effect. I have even tried melatonin with no effect:( I need to be able to shut down for awhile so my face can relax and the pain can ease…any suggestions? I am going crazy trying to sleep…sounds crazy huh!!

this is going to sound weird but take a warm shower or bath with lavender and maybe spray some linen spray on your pillows it's suppose too relax you and help you sleep at least that's what my aroma therapy class in massage school. I know it's not much but I hope it helps :) happy resting
