Hello Dizz, I feel for you. I am a fitful sleeper.

Big article in the newspaper yesterday.

Warm bath.

Eat brazil nuts a couple of hours before bed.

Try a banana, as magnesium sends you off to boe-boes!

[I am VERY good at dishing out advice, and lousy at taking it myself] <3

Gwen....... have you tried Magnesium?

I get terrible cramps in my legs & back, and taking magnesium helps a lot.

Google for it........ it helps with all sorts of things.

Poor you Gwen, it's so frustrating when you can't sleep isn't it?

Been trying to find a mo to call you, but no chance yet.

Apologies for having to cut your call short last weekend and when I was travelling earlier in August,

Have you tried deliberately to stay awake all nght?

Do not allow yourself to doze off. Mightily difficult.

My ex would complain that I snored and maintain that he never slept a wink.

Well, at least I was snoring hen I had no control over it happening. Why he felt the need to imitate a bloody band-saw all night when he was wide awake I ever could fathom.

I managed to entice him out tater picking with me once/ Next morning he was furious because somebody ws shining a bright light into his window so he couldn't sleep.

It was daylight!
