Sleeping lately = not me.

This always works for me:

while you are laying there, start with your toes and completely relax the muscles your toes, feet, working up slowly to your neck and shoulders not skipping a body part whatever whatever. While you are doing this picture yourself slowly falling into the mattress, further further down as you relax into the mattress, below the bed into a deep black relaxing hole. Only think about relaxing and slowly falling.

i know it sounds like a wierd thing to do, but i was surprised.

I've tried things like that, but my mind refuses to shut off. I'll feel myself drifting off and then I immediately shift my focus onto a file I've been working on.

Welcome to sleeplessness for the next several years. First it is that whole newborn thing, then it will be teething, then it will be they can stand up and want to play/scream all night long, then it will be potty-training, then it will be that they literally jump out of the crib, then it will be (maybe) another baby messing w/your world, then off to school...

You get used to it.

Sex helps but if you aren't really getting along with your mate that is sorta out of the question.

Don't know what to tell you except try reading perhaps? When I couldn't sleep for shit I would surf elite... I suppose even though I really can't offer you much in the way of what to do, what you are experiencing is VERY normal. I would think there was something wrong with you if you COULD sleep. LOL

I had suffered from night terrors for over 20 years. Since I have been laying next to my husband and *our world* is becoming more stable (getting the girls and the finances getting more stable) I have NO TROUBLE getting to sleep... NONE.

Whoa night terrors. My friend's sister has those and I remember crashing at his house when I was young and she started screaming. I thought a serial killer was going to kill us all.

Sounds like you need to get some
It's great for stress

Sounds like you are under a lot of stress and need to get it under control. Active mind = bad. You need to learn some techniques to shut it off.

My girlfriend has ths problem badly and I know when we move in together it's going to drive me nuts because I sleep like a champion.
