Suggest Treatment For Chronic Insomnia

default
Posted on Mon, 13 Mar 2017
Question: I have chronic insomnia and desperately need help. I also need the ingredients of sleep aids, so I can rule out buying one that has already proven ineffective for me. Thanks! P.S. Doctors are hesitant re: prescribing effective sleep aids as I have had 3 seizures in 25 years, they were causec by lack of sleep!
