If I have Insomnia is it better to take something to make me tired or should I stay up until I get sleepy?

I am tired all day but can't sleep at night. If I take Tylenol PM or something like that it takes about an hour to knock me out and I feel groggy in the morning. If I wait until I'm tired enough to sleep (which I'm doing now) I don't usually get tired until 3 or 4 then I'm groggy the next morning. Which solution is better or is there an alternative?

I have the same dilemma too ... it's tough isn't it.
These people say 'go to bed at the same time every night, blah, blah, blah"

they don't have a clue what having insomnia is like.

I usually stay up until 4 or 5am when I can sleep for a few hours. Like you, taking sleeping meds make me double tired and groggy the whole next day.

I don't know if there is a better solution. but I do know that when I exercise regularly I do sleep better.
