do u have any phenergan on hand?  valerian root also help even during the day...muscle relaxers like zanflex, flexeril can also help chill u out....kava kava, theanine or real chinese tea, a walk briskly around the block, clonodine helps as well but check ur BP....lots of alternatives but sometimes a hot bath and good read can help more than all of the above

gaba is helpful for sleep and I took it when sleep was an issue...it also helps people on benzos tremendously as it is very similar to benzos in chemical make up....there is some controvery over whether it can pass the blood/brain barrier but it helps me with sleep when i need it
