Cannot sleep!!!

I'm with Fred, usually it's not the problem of falling to sleep but staying asleep. I wake up a lot at 2am and have trouble getting back to sleep. I too use an asprin pm, but if it's too close to my getting up time I don't want to be drugged (I get up at 6am). I have tried a hot bath, reading, playing poker on the puter, watching tv and simply giving up. Tossing and turning only disturbs my hubby, who snores badly since gaining weight and if I wake up, forget getting back to sleep hearing that! He wakes himself up he snores so bad at times.

I tried one UG technique and it didn't work. :( I completely forgot about meditation. I do the "sink into the mattress" thing, and never stay awake long enough to get to my body. I wish I'd remembered. Oh well, for tonight if I need to.


I used to take Excedrin PM and it worked great, but I took it a couple times while I was the only person in my apartment and had absolutely horrifying nightmares- one where I woke up screaming into the phone "They've got me, help me, oh my God, they've got me!". Haven't taken it since.

Have you had someone walk you through it before? I had a psychologist walk me through the technique a couple times. Really helped.

And yeah... I can't take those kinds of meds either. They make me super groggy the next day.
