What are you doing to help you sleep?

[Mama 2 Be]

Need a hand girls as I'm slowly running out of patience.

I LOVE my sleep and it's killing me that I'm stuggling to get even 6 hours per night. Last night was the worse, I went to bed at 10pm, tossed and turned until about 2am trying not to wake hubby then when I did get to sleep I had to get up for a wee and then my alarm clock went off at 6.15am. Not even 4 hours continuous sleep.

I have the body pillow - not helpful at all. I read (which used to send me asleep like lighting) nothing. I've stopped drinking after 8pm now too.

HELP ME PLEEEEEEEEASE

I find actually getting up and sitting downstairs reading a book/magazine gets me more sleepy than staying in bed forcing sleep

Good good, right I'll give that a try, least that will stop the old man moaning when I've got the light on! thanks hon.

Keep 'em coming - Mama's desperate!

I have a similar problem - every night I'm nodding off on the sofa in front of the TV, but as soon as I get in bed, no matter how shattered I am, I just take aaaaagggeess to get to sleep.

So I'm considering putting a TV in the bedroom, as this seems to be the only thing that has a soporific effect on me right now - I'll let you know how I get on

A small glass of red wine? Always makes me sleepy.
