With AA I need to be alert enough to work the program, and if I nap it's often too long and disrupts my sleep more.
Thanks for your reply,

Then I don't know if it might be a daft idea but why not get online research different processes to attaining a good night sleep, like for example create a night routine, don't eat for x amount of hours first, exercise, meditate, take a bath, only watch light hearted things on tv or music x amount of hours before bed to name just a few. There is loads of advice out there. Make a list of all even silly ones, i would cut and paste into excel. then make a second list. Of ones you like and finally do a process of elimination, rate them. It would also give you a great distraction and some thing positive you can do with your time.
I have never been stable enough to maintain the elimination phase but if I were sober and stable I think that is what I would try.
