Like you, one of the reasons I drank was to help me sleep. Unlike most of you, when I drank, I slept like the dead until morning. Only no matter how long I slept it just didn't seem like enough. I'm on day seven now and my sleep cycle is still straightening out. I don't have a lot of trouble falling asleep but I can't get to bed much before 1AM because my brain just isn't ready to shut down until then.
