Hope you don't mind that your post made me chuckle. Unfortunately, not everything works for everyone. I have been struggling with huge sleep issues for about a year and this finally worked for me.

I had my tonsils removed when I was about the same age and had trouble with the procedure, too. The gas or whatever they gave me was horrid. I kept trying to turn my head and a nurse held me so I had to inhale it. It still creeps me out. Yuck.

I hope you can find something to help you get a sound night's sleep.
