Hi Linda
I have suffered through insomnia also at different times in my life. It got really bad a year ago when I got so sick. Would only sleep a couple of hours at a time then I started taking melitonin and 5 htp and that started me sleeping. A couple of months later I was back up wondering around late at nite. I started taking calcium and magnesium and am still on the melitonin and 5htp and am sleeping again. Only problem is the time change has me a little screwed up at the moment. Waking too early so I am back to about 4 hours sleep at nite and dragging in the day. Also having a hard time getting to sleep. I am 7 months post removal so don't know. I also hate the winter months too...soooo depressing. I stay cold all the time so winter really makes it hard on me . I go to work and get the errands done and try not to get back out again if its cold. So i am in the house alot in the winter. On really dreary stormy days, well that is the worst for me. I work for myself just part time so I can plan most of my work and stuff on fairly good days. I live in west texas so our winters are not as bad as what you have there but still sucks with the cold and depression. Maybe the melitonin and calcium could help might give it a try.
Take Care and Hang In There!!!
