First of all, not all sleeping pills work for all people!. you may need a different one!.
Second of all, decrease your caffeine intake, as mentioned before; no caffeinated drinks after late afternoon!.
Third, are you excercising at all!? Just taking a 30 minute walk in the afternoon can increase the quality of your sleep!.
Fourth, you may be so anxious about everything you mentioned that your anxiety level battles the sleeping pill and completely renders it ineffective!.
You may want to consult with your doctor about trying a different pill, or perhaps ask him/her to prescribe a medication to lessen the anxiety!. That may help you sleep more than simply taking a sleeping pill!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Different people react to sleeping pills differently, and also the individual ingredients in sleeping pills differently!. For example, some cold medicines that are suppose to cause drowsiness for me keeps me awake and hyper for about 2 days, depending on what I take!. I don't take cold medicine anymore!.
Take a look at the ingredients, and try a brand that uses a different drug!. Also, ask yourself why you aren't falling asleep - it could be stress, or something else!. Doing some simple stress reducing exercises could help, or try drinking night time tea!. Also, some diseases start by sleeplessness, so going to a doctor for a physical might be in order!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

some people have reverse reactions and sleeping pills can actually make a person wired!. The dose you took just may not be strong enough, but instead of uping the dose why dont you try something to get your mind of things!. exercize is a stress reliever and it will tire you out!. I swear I get the best sleep when I exercize and wake up feeling good (sometimes soar) Maybe try reading a book even!.!.try something other than pills and dont worry so much it will drive you nuts!. good luck with sleeping :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Are you drinking anything with caffine in it!? That'll do it!. That or are you eating anything with alot of sugar!? Sounds like your stressed out and I get that way sometimes if I'm really stressed out about whatever!. One thing you can try is taking some vitamin B complex!. B complex is a great vitamin when it comes to stress!. Google it if your not totally sure about it!. I take that vitamin when I'm stressed out or nervousWww@Answer-Health@Com
Try to listen to classical music, Mozart , for example and concentrate on the music!. Thinking about every problem is what keeps you awake!. Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
