I've always had trouble with sleep for as long as I can remember. I simply cannot maintain a "normal" schedule (read: not being awake for two days straight and then crashing for two hours only to repeat the cycle) without the use of pharmaceuticals. Over the years I've had some work better than others. Currently I am on a high dose of Zyprexa and I also take Vistaril, which has a sedative affect. Once I'm asleep I am good for like ten hours but it takes me AGES to fall asleep. Like at least two hours, often longer. It's gotten to where I go to bed early to account for the fact I'll be tossing and turning for hours so I need the extra time to ensure I get a full night's sleep.

I don't know what to do. My schedule/sleep hygiene hasn't changed and I didn't used to have problems. I just want to be able to fall asleep quickly. Any suggestions?
