Sleeping used to be one of my greatest sources of anxiety - so I drank until I could pass out - even then it quit working toward the end.

I think it helps to have a firm daily wake up time. I had some prescription sleeping meds but only used them a few times. I read this forum and mess around on facebook or read. I'm usually rolled over and asleep in 20 minutes now.

I told my doctor at my last visit that I was no longer having sleeping problems and she was amazed!

Now I can wake up at 6 am on a Saturday and hit the first meeting and be home before anyone else is up.

Two things for me:
Good sleep hygeine
Same wake up time 7 days a week.

The sleep should eventually fall into place.

Peace
