Give it a try. It's non-habit forming and very gentle, and works the best when I head to bed around 10 p.m.someone elsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524255841655400982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-1160853765980408932006-10-14T13:22:00.000-06:002006-10-14T13:22:00.000-06:00I don't usually wake once I am asleep my problem i...I don't usually wake once I am asleep my problem is getting to sleep to start with. I seem to get energized at bedtime. What works for me is to turn the TV on and that puts me to sleep after awhile or get hubby (also a night owl) to come rub my back and that puts me to sleep pretty fast most nights but 1:00 AM or 2:00 AM is not a good bedtime when I have to get up at 6:00 AM.

I start with my list of others for whom I've committed to pray, and by the time I get to my worries, they seem so much smaller. Then in the morning, I feel refreshed and renewed, no matter how little sleep I've had. I highly recommend it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-1160619925564204772006-10-11T20:25:00.000-06:002006-10-11T20:25:00.000-06:00If you ever find a cure for this let me know Dawn....If you ever find a cure for this let me know Dawn. I either take forever falling asleep or wake up in the middle of the night and stay awake for hours. I've tried all the mild things that should help, and they only seem to make my mind overactive (or more overactive I guess). The real problem is feeling like I could fall asleep on my feet at about two o'clock in the afternoon.<BR/>Ah well...Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-1160599680801770362006-10-11T14:48:00.000-06:002006-10-11T14:48:00.000-06:00I too am a member, I get back to sleep around 4am,...I too am a member, I get back to sleep around 4am, but I'm wide wake between 2 and 4.
