I was suffering from insomnia too due to menopause. I cut out caffeine and reduced my sugar intake and noticed a huge improvement

Shiftwork has caused insomnia by me too and I use Melatonin since (which I oreder from iHerb) .
Shift work is known to decrease potential lifespan by 10 years. When you can discontinue the shift work, it’s proven to be rather unhealthy

My husband worked Night Shift for over 17 years and has trouble sleeping now even though he has retired now from work we have tried many things but all not worked

I suffer insomnia terribly and have tried Melotin, Circudin and Restavit. You can buy these at the chemist and I found Restavit to help me more than the others. I wouldn’t go the merry go round with asking the Dr for prescription medication because it’s a slippery slope and they’re addictive. So try one of the ones mentioned and I hope something works for you.

Maybe avoid night shifts? Or if you can’t, at least it’s only a couple of times a month you’re out of whack

If it’s that severe I’d definitely see your GP for help. You will crash and burn and worrying about it will make it worse.

i suffered from the same issue – i worked night shift and just couldnt get to sleep – i had to speak with my GP for some medication to help me sleep – although depends on how long you want to sleep, i did have trouble waking up if the kids needed me. for me it really ended up being about avoiding sugary foods, and caffiene at night rather than drugs

No help for you sorry but I take my hat off to you. My sleep is easily messed up and I suffer badly, I could never do shift work without being a complete mess.

Hey I would try talk to your GP as soon as possible xx

My husband was a shift worker for years and it has took its toll on his Health

I was never a good sleeper, but when I did shift work it became very bad. I use Melatonin since that time, that’s for about 35 years now. I can’t sleep without anymore
