I have never slept well but recently learned that the ticker tape that keeps me awake can be turned off. I now sleep with a pad and pen right by my bedside. So if I wake and am thinking or worrying about something, I write it on the pad and can then go to sleep without worryign that I won't remember when I wake up. So, I still wake up but now fall back to sleep faster. It's a start, right? and I sleep better without trying to remember eight or nine things...
