caffine is strickly stopped about 1pm, nicotine is the only other drug, but its never caused a problem with sleeping like they say it does. as for the tv, I love csi and I actually start relaxing... with me being sick, I am however, overly tired. As for changing the dosage he said I cannot take more than 4 at a time, and to mess around with the doses till I find one that works.

No problem with watching TV and petting the kitties. And the bed may not be a problem; however I’ve had to switch to the contoured foam type of mattress for that baby in a crib type of sleep, haha! Smart of you to silence the phone.

The hot bath is smart as well, and especially with aromatherapy included. You may even use a hot mist vaporizer with some type of mint solution (or try eucalyptus) involved while in bed; that’s comforting too! You may also try using your mp3 with headphones during bed rest while listening to relaxation sounds. Now you do know that nicotine and caffeine can have lingering effects with negative side effects. CSI is intense to perhaps a subconscious level though, which can pump the central nervous system. But if that program relaxes you, then good; however you may try watching cartoons, haha! Or watch something that really, really bores you; this one may encourage that sleepy state of mind. Now if the doc has provided you with a treatment plan for the meds go for it. But if you can spot any aggressive or adverse physical or emotional type of reactions please discontinue the procedure until you’ve talked with your doc. Hope this helps you and I’ll look in on you tomorrow. Sleep tight!
