Does anyone have a cure for insomnia? Please read all of the following. I am so sick of not sleeping! I think maybe its anxiety?

I have not slept right since before my dad died and after he died (in April) it got worse. I go to bed and my mind races over everything from the past days and months (not just about dad, about everything).

My Dr wanted to give me sleeping meds but I refused them because I take meds for my back (on occassion), cholesterol, BP, yada yada. I even thought well I wont take any of my meds but I was still awake.

The Dr said dont go online before bed, dont watch tv before bed. She said read (not a Kindle a real book).

But I did what she said, and I get tired and yawning and I go to bed and I toss and turn and am back downstairs or walking around until 3 or 4 am! Then I finally fall asleep BUT wake up at 8 or 9. I even tried setting my alarm for 6 getting 2 hours sleep and I STILL cant sleep at night. I dont drink caffeine either.

Any suggestions are appreciated!
