Dreaded Insomnia....

Hi all, my first post on here so bear with me if already discussed or has a thread, I suffer with insomnia and its really starting to get to me, my living situation wasnt great up until May so i kind of accepted it and managed best i could, however i have now moved to a new flat and settling in which has been amazing, the insomnia settled briefly but has returned with a vengeance !! I have cleared my bedroom of all electronics, tried all the methods of getting myself ready to sleep etc even to the point where im so exhausted and tired im virtually falling asleep. The second i go to bed though and settle down BOOM i cannot drift off :( I end up getting up trying to do something and then feel exhausted again so return to bed for the same thing to happen again i end up finally falling asleep at stupid o clock ( 6-7am) then sleeping till the afternoon. I know if i can break this cycle with a couple of nights good sleep at normal hours i wll be ok, so my question is has anyone tried any ' over the counter ' pills remedies and if so which ones work best ?? Im looking at Vitafusion Sleep well at the mo as i have tried Nytol etc and dont really work ?? If anyone has any advice etc i would be really grateful and on a side note im seeing my GP on friday for more advice, i dont really want prescription pills as the addiction side of things is not something i want to worry about. Thanks all in advance Jay

I use over the counter sleep meds, Unisom. I actually cut them in half. I take it two to three times a week just to get in some quality sleep. It makes me groggy in the morning but once it wears off I feel better.
