I have had insomnia for many many years. I now take 2 different anti-depressants, sleeping pill, muscle relaxer and anxiety pill. Most of the time I sleep like a baby or at least for a few solid hours. I can sleep in the dark but have a hard time going out in the dark. When my husband works nights, I sleep with the tv on but volume off. We also got a dog that makes me calmer. Years ago if left alone I would have many locks on the doors but would find myself in the closet crying. I had to stay at the in-laws house finally till he got off work and came to pick me up. At least things are better.
