Hi!

Right now, I'm doing pretty well with insomnia, but I have had chronic issues with it for several years. I have some medical problems, fibromyalgia, being one of them, and non-restorative sleep is something that I've had to deal with for years.

Already suggested to you was, "take your phone off the hook". I've been doing this for about a year now, and it has helped soooooooooo much!!

When I'm falling asleep, there are no worries that I'm going to be woken up by a ringing phone -- whether it's someone that wants to talk or even a wrong number. Doing this takes away a lot of anxiety. I believe that this has probably helped me the most.

Because sleep is so crucial to my well-being, and how well I'm going to function the next day, we unplug our phone at 11:00pm.

I'm 45, and my parent's are in ill health, (mom at home & dad in nursing home). They can get in touch with my husband or I through either of our cell-phones.

When my husband works out a few hours before bed, he is pretty much assured a good night's rest. The exact opposite happens to me. If I work out at night, it's pretty much a guarantee that I'm not going to get to sleep. I do hope that someday that will change.

I take Melatonin (over the counter), but please don't take unless your doctor suggests) and a prescription medication.

As we all know, sleep is crucial -- so, I really wish you a lot of luck in trying different things to get a good nights rest.

Have a great day!!

Denise
