    Used to have the same problem. Now, no caffeine and go to bed and relatively the same time each night. I also wear earplugs because I am a light sleeper. Sweet dreams.

    All of you who take Ambien, be careful. My sister ended up in the psych ward several months ago because in her desperation to get sleep, she took too much along with alcohol. I've used it and love the sleep I get with it, but I'm afraid to do it too often. I've been getting better sleep since I started taking Slow Mag at night. It's magnesium and calcium. I also don't have any caffeine after 3:00, don't get on the computer after about 7:00 because the light from it is supposed to reset your "clock" that's in your eyes and tells you it's morning instead of night. I remember how desperate for sleep I was when I had young children, and now that I have the time for sleep, it's hard.

    I can relate, but my situation has changed for the better.
    It used to keep me up at night if I was thinking about my projects.
    Now, it's my job that keeps me up, and I find that I can relax more/sleep better if I think about the quilting projects!
    Go figure!
