Hi Ygrec,

I'm sorry to hear of your sleep difficulties, and boy, can I empathize. I wish I could be a font of knowledge and suggestions for you on this one, but maybe I can be something helpful, nonetheless--a signpost. You may want to have a look at my posts in the Sleep Issues and Health Support forums concerning lack of sleep--people left me some very good approaches and strategies that may be of use to you. Forgive me for not having direct links handy.

I do envy your ability to get up at the crack of dawn. I can do it when I must, but my body clock is set a mite later than that, and I've always been more a child of the night than a zippy day person. I do enjoy daylight, however, and like getting up early in the morning--just can't convince myself of the lifestyle, I suppose.

Hope you are able to get some restful sleep soon, Ygrec.
