Q: Cannot sleep !

I am having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep once I get to sleep. Most nights I sleep 2 hours and then I am up cleaning, watching tv, doing puzzles and
what ever else I can think of. I can take a sleeping pill and i get an extra hour from it. I am in constant pain from a MVA that has damaged pretty much the rt side of my body. If I sleep longer than 2 hours I can not walk very well.
Our family moved this year to a small city and I do not know anyone, my Mom died this January as well and now my dad is getting remarried and she has only been gone 7 1/2 months. Please someone talk to me I am so alone. Crying or Very sad

hey you can try doing yoga as it helps relax your body. i will not say it surely helps but it may help to some extent. consult a doctor and take medicines, along with that practice yoga. hope it will help.
