I am sleeping better lately. It took me a while to get my sleep cycle back on track. I started going up to bed earlier, and even if I watched tv for an hour or so afterwards it was easier to wind down earlier than if I had stayed in the livingroom on the sofa.

Not well! I kept tossing and turning...so much so that I managed to accidentally turn on my touch-sensitive lamp which stands next to our bed. I must have stretched my hand while turning.

I love my alarm clock, I can dim the display so I don't know what time it is if I wake up. All my brain knows is that I don't have to get up until I hear it.
I've been tired lately so not sure if it is the summer air, close to summer activities with school ending last week or what. I just want to sleep at night.

When I use the white noise machine, it helps. I've been dreaming about next school year, and I think it's making me tired already!

Dianne, are you finding ways to keep cool at night?

My doctor just prescribed Trazodone as a sleep aide; I'd mentioned that I had trouble staying asleep. (No problem getting to sleep--I'm out the second my head hits the pillow--but I wake up around 2 a.m. stressing about everything!) I'm worried about trying something, though, since I hardly ever take anything at all. Has anyone tried this or other sleeping pills and had success without dependence? Jilly, she also (alternatively) gave me a prescription for Ambien, but I'm worried that I'd have some odd reaction that I've read about, such as eating everything in the fridge and having no recollection of it!

Jilly,
Not really. It's funny when I was in Atlanta earlier this week, my hotel room was freezing cold, but when I turned the air off the room became quite muggy - yuck...
I forgot about the trick of placing a wet face cloth on my forehead or around my neck at night. That used to do the trick. I need to try it again.
