Strangely enough, Wifey and I sleep better when on the Atkins diet. Before we would usually wake up at least twice a night. On Atkins I always sleep right through and seem far more refreshed by it. One of the things that the Atkins diet does change is that I don't drink caffinated coffee or tea anymore and I drink a lot more plain water.

In your mind picture the word THE in big letters, and repeat over and over again. It does work, how i don't know, probably boredom.

Don't worry Sara, that’s just the wine. :p

I hate it; I have a lot of problems at night and have had for a number of years. It's not too bad if there's some distraction otherwise life can be pretty s***y. I’ve recently started hill walking that having some effect but it’s only at weekend so Sunday & Monday I’m not too bad, but it’s back to the 2.30 am grind on Tuesday.

Sex is meant to be good for getting to sleep.

Some chemical (the name escapes me) is released, which relaxes you and helps you go to sleep.

The old joke about men dropping off after sex is true!

Yoga. Do an hour before you go to bed and you will sleep like a baby.

Milky drink......avoid caffeinated drinks (tea, coffee, cocoa etc)
Milky drinks contain a substance called L-tryptophan which makes you sleepy.
Avoid exercise before bed as this causes the release of Adrenalin......the fight or flight hormone.
Have a cool bedroom......no TV, no Radio.
Warm bath before bed may help.
One drop of lavender oil on your pillow may also help.
If you haven't gone to sleep 20 minutes after going to bed.......get up and do something really boring......don't go back to bed until you are really sleepy.
