Melatonin + xanax would knock me out - but I'd wake up feeling like total ****. I don't like that feeling at all. Not into downers.
My anticonvulsants cause insomnia. Combine that with my anxiety issues and it's a problem.
I can't take sleeping pills because they increase my likelihood of having a seizure and leave me with a brutal sleep hangover. I was hallucinating while on Ambien. Melatonin didn't work for me. When I did sleep, I had some freaky dreams and not in a good way. 1/2 a dose of Benadryl knocks me the **** out for 12 hours but again an increase in possible seizure activity plus sleep hangover left me feeling like ****.
My improvements have come from meditation before sleep combined with listening to
Sleep With Me Podcast. It's a boring guy with a boring voice telling boring, incoherent stories. Imagine Ben Stein reading a dictionary to you. It's that effective for me. Just knocks you out.
Not sure if they'd work for a scatterbrain like Trump but they do for me.
