My menopause journey from insomnia to restful sleep

I’m used to sleeping twice a day.  I love the feeling of falling sleep and this way I get to do it twice a day.  I like the fresh burst of energy I have upon waking up, so sleeping twice gives me two bursts of energy.  It gives me the illusion of getting two days worth of work in one 24 hour period.  I’ll have insomnia for years at a time and then it will stop for a few years.  I’ve been prescribed all kinds of sleep stuff and find it lets me sleep for only 3 hours at a time, whether it’s Ambien, Remeron, Trazodone.  Here are links to the natural supplements I found work for me.  The short version: First try Hyland’s Calms Forte, Valerian Root and Melatonin.  Here are the links.
