Dave,
I don't usually have trouble falling asleep, but I do periodically have trouble staying asleep, and once I wake up it's often hard to go to sleep again. During those times, I usually resort to meditation with mixed success. I used to concentrate on slow, steady, deep breaths while relaxing as much as possible, counting backwards from 100 with each breath and visualizing each number in white against a black background. Sounds like a lot to do, and it's actually very simple in practice. Lately, over the last few months, I simply relax as much as possible and just concentrate on the sound of my steady breathing, which is easy to do as I use a BiPAP machine. Those who use one or a CPAP machine know what I mean. Hope this helps...

They are terrible forcing me to sit up and turn the fan on. When it's below 70, that's too cool for me - but if it is much warmer, the pa's are worse and more frequent. I use a plethora of otc drugs and root extracts in alternating sequence. My body seems to quickly figure each one out and render it useless so I have to switch around. What do you guys do, just lie down and sleep like a baby???
