I've tried both...neither really works on me. I go into this half awake half asleep thing where I hear stuff (not hallucinations, but like the traffic outside my house, the tv, my dog, neighbors, stuff like that) but I'm not awake and can't respond to it. It really freaks me out, because I imagine thats what it might be like in a coma, so I can't take it anymore.
Talk to your doctor to try and figure out why you really can't sleep. My true sleeplessness tends to occur when I have high anxiety, so I take a larger dose of xanax, which relaxes me and helps me fall asleep.
If I'm not anxious and I just can't sleep, I get some sleepy time tea. I can't remember who makes it, but its got a bear on it. I think Celestial Seasonings? Its the best option supermarket wise. There was a teacher this summer who got some great relaxing tea from Hong Kong when she was there before the session. I wish I remembered what kind of herb that was. I'm thinking about going making an appt with an herbalist to get some tea made for me.
