Insomnia medication question?

[Char]

I have a form of insomnia where I frequently wake up at night, it has been at least 2 times but usually more. I never feel rested because of this and am always going to bed early due to being tired, only to be wide awake an hour later. Go back to bed, wide awake another hour later. Once my husband comes to bed it settles down a bit, but I will still wake up once or twice.
I want this to quit because I deal with peoples lives everyday and I need to be on my toes and rested so I dont make a mistake.If anyone knows of any over the counter meds that work for this type of insomnia to get me to stay asleep it would be greatly appreciated!

You can try chamomile tea and warm milk to start with. These do have a reaction in you that causes sleepiness. Valerian root is especially helpful for those with long term needs. I'd recommend going to your closest health store that specializes in natural remedies. They will have several brands of herbal sleep remedies on the shelf to choose from. Check the ingredients. If you don't know what each herb or additive is and what it does, ask! See which is probably best suited to your needs. Try one. If it doesn't help. Try another. You will find one that will help.
