Thanks Restless (what a fitting name for this thread, lol),
Appreciate the tips you've given. Trust me, I'm steering away from OTC sleep-aids for the time being. Right now, i'm using aromatherapy (lavendar) and it is soothing. I used to exercise almost every evening and that would exhaust me enough to get a good night's sleep. So, I need to get back into the exercising routine. The problem with insomnia is that I end up falling asleep after Fajr and then I wake up around 2'ish in the afternoon.....and feel too tired to exercise. But I'm planning to exercise this evening.
I've always been a night owl ever since I was a kid. Scientists say that your genes determine whether you are a night owl or an early bird. I think it's fascinating.......but these days it's getting a bit tooo far and it's taking a toll on me. So, time to make a few lifestyle changes.
