Age old question, but I'm dying here. Seven weeks and counting. I've tried over exercising, (yeah weight loss); no caffeine, and de-stressifying my life. Still.... 1:00am wide awake. Any ideas? (I have my Jim Carrey video collection In Living Color just for review)

That's true. I got a quarter way in. Actually it was OK, but just a heavy read. I'll get to the end eventually, but of course, now I'll have to start again as I've forgotten what's happeneing!! :lol:

I'm normally still up at 1am too but that's just normal for me.
Do you have a quiet bedroom, a settling atmosphere? That all helps.

Do more during the day.

I had it for about 5 years, and now I walk more, and do more things, I sleep like a baby every night...

I found that watching TV or reading a book just keeps my mind active...

Did you try to take a really hot bath? That really makes tired.
Or listen to a boring audiobook, narrated by just one person. 1hr filled with the same voice. Works perfectly, at least in my case :wink:

Having a Jim with me would be be grand, but reality sets in. So I'll muttle along. I even have videos: African Healing Dance? (Bought those in the 80's) its spritual growth thing. Move like a gazelle.... right! :wink: African Yoga.
