Help with sleeping

[[...]]

One of my big problems in w/d has been insomnia.  Looking through the posts on this section, several people have recommended benadryl, melatonin, or other OTC sleep aids.  I did not want to add more pills to my already messed up system so I kept looking.  Some people also recommended white noise machines.  I never had any trouble sleeping before w/d, so I was a little reluctant to spend the money.   Then I stumbled across a post that recommended online white noise sites.  

 

A couple of people mentioned http://www.mydreamcloud.com/.   I tried this one and it was ok, but the cycle time on the sounds is short and my mind started registering when the cycles started and stopped.  It did help, but not as much a I would have liked.  I did notice that on the nights it was raining, I slept better, so I looked for some rain noise sites.  The one that really helped last night was http://www.rainymood.com/.  The cycle time is much longer.  For those of you that are having trouble sleeping, I recommend it.  I just went to the site to get the URL to post into this message and after about 30 seconds with it up, it is already making me sleepy.

Thanks for the link, ky70.  I actually have a rain sounds CD that I had forgotten about but helped me sleep.  I especially like this now since we are in the middle of a drought.  That rain sounds so cool and refreshing!
