how can I get to sleep?

I have a three yr old daughter who I lay with to put her to sleep at 7.30pm last night woke up at 10.30pm and now cant go back to sleep Have tried reading, Journaling, praying, drinking some warm milk brushing my teeth, pretending to be asleep and even listening to talk back radio all of which usually work help I am so tired and need to sleep but I cant shut off my brain and don't really want to take pain killers but may have to if it will help me sleep. i also suffer from depression but this does not usually interrupt my sleep pattern.

    It's such an awful feeling, isn't it?

    This might sound weird but every full moon I end up lying awake all night, no matter what I try and do!

    Normally though, I don't have problems getting to or back to sleep anymore. I started wearing my scalar pendant several months ago, and I also use binaural beats sometimes (iPhone apps or hypnosis CD's)

    Anyway, not sure if this is an ongoing problem for you but if it is, look into the pendants and if you have an iPhone try downloading brainwaves or look for pzizz on iPhone or buy the computer software.

    Best of luck :)
