I keep a filled hot-water bottle in the frig, use it behind my neck at bedtime. ahhhh, what a relief.

What's really worked on my insomnia this time around has been homeopathics. Yes, I know... Nux Vomica initially, off the shelf; something tailored to my needs following that. And, more remarkable than the expected insomnia relief, the nux stopped my tinnitus. Who knew??
