[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 672775, member: 11791"] We've been there. I ran on four hours a night for several years. The body can only take so much. What kinds of things do you do before bedtime to help with sleep? Here's some that help me: - NO screen time (computer, cell phone, TV, any technology) within 90 minutes of bedtime. - cool house for night (we have programmable thermostat) - take a nice long bubble bath (or steam shower if you have that) - have a very small snack - such as a bit of yogurt, a cup of "angel tea", warm (or cold) milk, a small bowl of cereal - sometimes helps to have a white noise machine, or a continuous-play CD of the ocean or that type of relaxing sound - make sure you have a really good pillow, and the right combination of blankets - I find it helps to keep paper and a pencil by the bed, and a night light with a SEVEN-watt bulb (or less... like a night-light) - just enough light to see to write. Then when I wake up thinking about things that need to be done... I just write them down so I don't forget. Helps in getting back to sleep. [/QUOTE]
