I have been struggling to sleep for the past 20 years, I've tried all kinds of natural remedies, but they only work for a few weeks.
Does anyone else have this issue? what kind of things have you done to cope with it?

a knock out blow will do it. you need a good concussion, that can laps you into a comma for a few days
let me know if you find the solution too. i think i have been having that issue just as long. mediation helped for a while. but i can only meditate for so long. i know sound and light makes it worst for me.

I can't usually fall asleep unless I take something like melatonin. Do you watch TV or play on a laptop before you try to go to sleep? The bright lights mess with your internal clocks. If not, then a concussion will certainly do it. Ask me if you want help with that.

Melatonin does rock. I used to use it a lot. I didn't want to become reliant on it, though, so I eased off. But if you have trouble sleeping anyway then it might be a good way to go.

I am a gamer, I know that doesn't help. I like to avoid shooters or anything with too much action/noise. Melatonin also works for me, but I have to cycle it. Thanks for the concussion tip guys, I know you can help me with that but I'll pass on that

Have you seen a doctor for it? I have a friend with some pretty serious sleep issues that can cripple him in everyday life without his prescribed medication. Might help you.

I kinda agree with kokoro, I have considered going to a sleep clinic though
