That is my life..for the last 3 years. Go to bed, fall asleep well and quickly and then wake up at around the same time 0230--315, toss and turn until it's time to get up. It's totally peri-menopause's fault. I have what I consider pretty good "sleep hygiene" habits - no caffeine after noon, eat well, exercise a lot and try not to do it too late, go to bed at the same time, try to wake up at the same time, bedroom is cool and dark, cover my clock, have a fan going for white noise. I rarely watch tv. My only downfall would be computer use before bed, but I don't always do that. I'm planning on getting some Gunnar glasses for computer use in the evening. I do notice that when I get my period- that first night is toally bliss and I get the best sleep.

LPH, don't feel bad about sleeping by yourself either. I do it a lot. My sleep is so miserable -I wake up so easily and DH has myoclonic jerks, snores, rubs his whiskers in his sleep- all which makes my poor sleep even worse. DH totally gets it. Many girlfriends I have spoken to sleep alone (sometimes) as well. I think this is something that is more common than you think, people just don't want to admit it.
