2 responded take B12 tablets daily-also magnesium also a good supplement that
can sometimes help with sleep

Have your doctor check your thyroid and/or other blood work.  Have a vitamin &
 mineral check

Check Vitamin B deficiencies especially B6

Take Levoxyl (I am not sure what this is)

Cut down on carbohydrates

Give yourself a hot-as-is-comfortable foot bath.  Dry feet & scrunch sox over
toes to the arch so as not interfere with circulation further on the foot and
ankle.

Have a foot massage then drink chamomile tea

Take 1 Tylenol PM and 1 Benadryl right before bed

Try an acupuncturist

Do a sleep apnea test

Possible milk allergy

Stay away form yeast.

Probably hunger keeps you awake.  Have a glass of milk or dish of yogurt and
a couple of GF cookies right before bed.
