Have you tried to eliminate or lesson screen time? Your body needs melatonin to sleep which needs Vitamin D to make... so try to spend more time outside or buy a "happy light" Have you tried meditation or prayer before bed?

You could talk to your doctor to see if any adjustments need to be made to your medication.

Hello Westie,

It sounds like you're overwhelmed. Being tired doesn't help, and it's normal you want to cry. You need sleep but can't get it...a frustrating cycle. Have you considered natural alternatives? I strongly encourage you to examine the root of why your body doesn't seem to relax. Are you stressed? Anxious? Are your thoughts running rampant? Regardless, you will find an answer. Sometimes it's as simple as going for a run before bed, or turning off the tv well before bed. Let us know how it goes!
