I, too, sleep with the T.V. on. Well, kind of- I set the sleeper timer or else my husband would kill me.

I try not to advocate drugs, but, have you talked to your PCP about this? I've suffered from insomnia for about four years now and I'm currently taking Rozerem, which is a non-habit forming sleep-aid (at least they say.) It works fairly well for me. On nights that I still can't fall asleep or wake up in a panic attack, I take an anti-anxiety.
