Melatonin. Take it. I had insomnia for years till this was suggested to me. It works, and it's completely natural. I haven't slept this well in years.

Or that....

Try smoking herb

yeah but...
i have to have 4 hours of sex and 7000 cals before i sleep.

melatonin and valerian....valerian works really well.

tylenol PM is an antihistamine, same thing as benadryl. I used to have to take it to fall asleep....every day. But eventually, it put me into a wicked depression. I hate life when i'm taking that shit.

fuck, sleep is never easy for me. the worst are nights like sunday...went to bed around ~1...didn't fall asleep until...well, i didn't. got out of bed around 6:30 to go for a run, because i intended to do that and i love to say 'fuck me.' somehow, i didn't start to crash at work on monday until it was just about quitting time, but it's usually torture.

Me too!

I dread Sundays.

I tried changing my schedule (not working Mondays) but that just shifted everything forward a day. (stress related perhaps?) That's so funny, I was running at odd hours in the middle of the night but the better half was woken up every time I tried to slip out of the house so now I just get into my office and work. I can't schedule meetings in the afternoon because after 2pm I'm pretty useless. So I end up doing most of my work between 3am and noon.

It's utter madness.

I wonder if it's hereditary because I remember as a child my father never slept more than 3-4 hours and he was in his office in the wee hours until he had to leave to do rounds.

I took a yoga class on Monday and I will take it again today - I figure I've tried everything else why not this too. (if it helps I'll let you guys know)

Did I mention I gave up caffiene too - cold turkey - a little over a month ago?

Yah.

being self employed is definitely an enemy of good sleep

I go through spouts of it...either I can't sleep and that last for days on end and then there are a couple of days my body is wore out from not sleeping for so long I can't make it till 9:00.
I have tried ambien and it sucks!! Had a thread about it once....cost me 75.00 for 30 pills so I thought they would be awesome.......1st night seemed to work but hasn't since!!!

I know it's not a cure all but doing cardio daily has really helped my sleeping. My main problem is getting up in the middle of the night to piss. This has to be extremely quick w/o any light. If I take a while my mind starts to awake and the wheels start turning then. I'll think of everything from A-Z for an hour or two before I can get back to sleep. Being sandwiched b/n the wife and our cat doesn't help either.
