I got some very good sleep in last night, but i also took an ativan, so I am not sure it counts.
I am experimenting with trying sleep supplements, and working on better sleep hygiene.
How about you guys?

Not too bad considering that I have suffered a lot from insomnia lately. I just start to think then when I have several things on my mind I start to calculate so of course that stops me from falling asleep. The worst for me though is not spending hours awake is falling asleep then waking up and doing that over and over throughout the night, especially when the falling asleep part is only for a few minutes. When I am not stressed out I fall asleep fast and nothing can wake me up (a nice example of that is years ago we renovated our roof and it took more than 15 minutes of about 5 men banging on the roof with their tools right over my bed to wake me up), now a little sound can wake me up. I have an half of an ativan left (it makes a 0,5 ... the first half worked for me) and I am thinking of taking it soon.

Nancy, that is interesting about trying half an ativan. Next time i take one, I might do that too.
One of the things I am trying to do is to quiet my mind down after 8-9pm -ie no nonfiction or web learning. I wan to try only reading fiction or watching a movie...but i am not doing well at all on following my own rule.
I think it would help greatly, but i can't seem to comply.

I slept very well. Went to bed at 9:30, up at 6 am. but I lie there for a short time to mull over my dreams every morning.
A LOT of dreams. Interesting dreams.
There was a time when I got only three hours of sleep at a stretch due to my son's insomnia and hyperactivity. Boy, do I not take a good night's sleep for granted.

I slept long enough but I often toss and turn a bit during the night. I get hot in bed and then cold. Must be the age thing.... It seems that if I am not waking up to an alarm then I am in bed for about 9 hours. I guess I am tired.

It did take me a while to fall asleep last night and I did wake up a few times during the night. It was after 4:00 when I went to bed and after 13:00 when I got up.

I was very pleased that I slept well last night with no prescription drugs.

Last night I ended up calculating things when I got to bed so that kept me awake for a few hours before I finally fell asleep. I woke up at least once. It was past 5:00 when I got to bed and past 14:00 when I got up. I still have that half of ativan.

That was a good night of sleep for me last night. It did take me a while to fall asleep but I only woke up once, it was after 11:00 and it felt like I was fully awake so I figured that I would take a few minutes extra then get up but fell asleep for about two hours.
