Thanks for the information. I stopped drinking just after Christmas last year and have had terrible insomnia since. Falling asleep is the hardest part, though shallow sleep also has given me problems. Those teas sound good. A bedtime ritual is a great idea! It usually takes me about 2 hours to fall asleep so I'm very tempted to work or do something that is stimulating after becoming bored with trying to sleep. Of course, that only delays the onset of sleep and results in very short periods of rest in between days - about 4 to 6 hours.
