    to help sleep, try having a cup of hot choclate before bed, then try reading A BOOK for a while - reading a screen doesnt do the same thing because your eyes have to work harder, and there is more interaction involved. then when you finally feel like putting the book down, try and clear your mind and think of nothing.. its strange to do, and quite hard to learn if you dont know how, but once you master it you can fall asleep real quick (i can do it, but only when sobre, so after a night out i rarely get any sleep.. funny innit)

    It's the exact opposite, for me... After drinking profuse amounts of alcohol, I usually cabbage out on the couch, only to be woken by a cat walking on my crotch. It wasn't even a bloody small cat, either!

    Ah you sound like the relaxation therapist I had.

    Haven't slept properly since I was about 16. If I'm lucky I'll get around 5 hours a night. Sometimes I can fall asleep only to find myself wide awake at 3 or 4 in the morning, too tired to get up, but unable to get back to sleep.

    Spent a good two years trying to resolve it - Had to cut caffiene completely out of my diet for 9 months (did nothing, I'm convinced I'm immune to caffine as I never get a caffine "buzz"). Warm bath before bedtime, reading, warm milk/horlicks/ovaltine, brisk walk before bedtime, No tv, no alcohol, plenty of excercise - all tried, all failed.

    Relaxation therapy was interesting - mainly because it made things worse! getting all relaxed and sleepy at 2 o'clock only to have the session end at 3 and be jolted out of your relaxed state does very little for you!

    Eventually I was prescribed sleeping tablets - Man, did I sleep then! Had 12 solid hours on the first night, woke up feeling great. Went downstairs for a morning coffee, sat in front of the TV, reached down for coffee and it was stone cold. Looked at the clock and realised I'd dropped off and had slept for a further 4 hours!

    Unfortunately, as soon as the tablets stopped, my old sleeping patterns returned.

    I'm now resigned to the fact that I'll just never sleep properly.
