I have a hard time staying asleep some nights also so I ordered a pillow speaker online and use that under my pillow to listen to relaxation music cds on my cd player (small round one from Wally World) which I have on the night-side table. I turn on the player and I image myself walking on the beach and I usually fall asleep before the cd is finished. The player cuts off automatically. Snooze. This may not work for anyone else but definitely does the job for me.

I found that I had twitchy legs. I never really got to a deep sleep. So now I take medication for my legs still woke up etc. had to go to sleeping pills, but what a difference!!
Sometimes I would sew & look at the clock it's 3 AM then still couldn't turn my mind off. Kept telling myself I could work on a couple hrs of sleep. Right...

I have severe Restless Leg Syndrome and for years couldn't sleep because my legs had a mind of their own - I now take requip (which I would fight anyone for) and when I do go to sleep (usually only about 5 hours) I can sleep very well. Have been having very painful leg spasams lately and am back in the can't sleep mode again - thank goodness for the internet.
