Try Benadryl
Benadryl is the ingredient in Tylenol PM. I take two 25 mg capsules about an hour before I am ready to go to sleep. This really helps. It is safe and inexpensive. Sometimes if I have been transcribing right before I go to bed, I have a hard time shuting the brain off too. I hate it when I dream about transcribing.

Do you by any chance use Benadryl or
anything containing diphenhydramine? I don't have RLS, but when I use the above to help me sleep I have it really bad. Just in case you do use it, I thought I'd let you know. Good luck!

Get some liquid Benadryl in him quickly and
People can develop allgeries suddenly and for no apparent reason and it's much easier to deal with when you have your senses about you than wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of his gasping for air!

No rx needed, they are OTC. Benadryl is for allergies but (sm)
it is also the same ingredient that is in many of the OTC sleep meds.

Actually Valerian root and melatonin might be a very good combination. I have tried them each individually but not together. I might try that!

or just pop a Benadryl if you've accidentally over-caffeinated. ;)

I use melatonin, Benadryl and white noise (sm)
I have a very tough time with insomnia. I take 6 mg of melatonin and 25 mg of Benadryl an hour before I want to go to sleep and run a fan every night. Sometimes I get six straight hours of sleep and on those nights I consider myself lucky! If I get up at night to use the restroom I don't turn on the lights so that I can get back to sleep more easily. FYI I have been taking the melatonin and Benadryl for about a year, recently had lab work done and my LFTs were good.

PS - Benadryl at night also helps a lot to relax the muscles. nm
