Alana, if your melatonin is not prescribed it is not going to help, the prescribed ones can help, but GPs can be reluctant to offer them, no sleeping pills for me, my heart doesn't like them, I tried all sorts from yoga to hypnotherapy and found the thing that helped me was a relaxation therapy course at Maggies www.maggies.org which can be done online. Alana are you having anxiety issues, I had them for a little while and resolving them was by far the most important thing to getting a decent sleep habit.

Hi Eddie, my Melatonin is prescribed by my Oncologist. I am not aware that I have specific anxiety issues. It has gone gradually downhill since I started my treatment. It is known for causing insomnia for some. Sadly enough I must be one of the unlucky “Some” . I will have a look at the online course, after all it can’t do any harm. Your helpfulness is much appreciated. Take care and enjoy your family gathering.
Love Alana and Cat xx
