Sleep promotion tips

Lack of sleep seems to be very common among CP members

So, if anyone has any top tips for nodding off, please add them to this thread.

My best is a few drops of oil of lavender on my pillow...................

Make sure you have got a good mattress

This is a thread I will be very interested in as I have a big problem with sleep. I reckon 5 out of 7 nights a week I average 2 - 3 hours sleep a night. It is not uncommom for me to be still awake at 5 or 6 in the morning

I've tried the lavender oil on the pillow thing.....no luck
Warm bath before bed....no luck
I have tried Nytol....no luck
Valerian....no luck
Reading.....no luck
Hot drink (but not milky as I hate milk!).....no luck
Have got a posturepaedic mattress......no luck....
My son bought me a book called "Desperately Seeking Snoozin'", the Insomnia Cure from Awake to Zzzzzzzz by John Wiedman.......I am halfway through it but nothing is 'happening' yet!

I haven't seen a doctor about it as the last thing I want is to be prescribed sleeping tablets

Soooooooo......I would welcome any help please!
