Oh, except, I do have a small problem reading before bed as you mention….I can never seem to put that really good book down. Until, that is, I realize I’m missing chunks of the storyline because I’m falling asleeping!

I’ve always kept a pad of paper and a pen by my bed in case something pops into my mind. Sometimes I have great ideas when drifting to sleep! When woken from nightmares, I often jot down some details of the dream which helped me overcome them.

I have a sneaky suspicion staying up late, eyes glued to the computer might have contributed to those scary dreams!

I usually don’t have a hard time of getting to and staying asleep. Very seldom do I wake up, but in the past couple of years, I wake at 2:00a, then 4:00a, then 6:a and fall asleep again to get up at 7:00a altogether. My husband however, watches tv first, then reads, usually until 1 or 2am. I thought that would help him to sleep, but his mind seldom shut down and he dreams all of the time. Finds out he has sleep apnea, badly, and now uses a CPAP machine and sleeps like a baby. NO SNORING or thrashing about.

I can’t sleep in pj’s. A thin gown or a man’s undershirt usually does the trick. I find that when I sleep in long pants and a long sleeved shirt, I end up at some point in the night stripping and sleep much better.

A little fresh air in the night is the ticket. Unless there is gale force wind, open the window a little and get some fresh air. Does wonders for the stale room air and your lungs. I’ve been doing that for years.

My grandmother always said that eating late and going right to bed will cause you to have bad dreams. She was corrrect as ususal! Not only that, but the food stays in the chest area and stomach. Now that I am older, I tend to remember many wise sayings of hers, and they are always right. Whenever I eat late and need to go to bed soon after, I always sit up for at least 2 hours before turning in, or drink a digestif that I buy in Europe and bring home. It is made with 46 different herbs and works magic on the digestive system. It takes some getting used to, but as I have been drinking it on and off for years, it’s wonderful.
