I had sleeping problems many years ago which resulted in me being put in sleeping tablets for 10 years. Yes, you did read that correctly. Of course they lose effect after a few weeks which gave me real problems because I became dependent on them but still couldn't sleep. I stopped them in the end and didn't sleep for 6 weeks. I'm much better now. When I can't sleep I usually know why, it's because I have something on my mind and it's whizzing at 100 mph. Then I get up and potter around. The middle of the night is a dreadful time for irrational thought, I'd say. That really does sound grim.
