I have a sleep disorder because my mind doesn't shut off at night. I think of things I didn't get done or things that I forgot to do. I take 1 or 2 Trazodone 100 MG at bedtime. I take one, and it really helps. It's not for depression. It's because the Doctors in our area don't prescribe sleeping pills.
