I try to have no caffeine at all, no sugar, and don't eat anywhere near bedtime. I need to have heavy blankets on the bed, which means sleeping with a leg out the bed sometimes to try and regulate the heat. Over summer I will have the ceiling fan on, I love the feeling of moving air. We have block out curtains in the bedroom so it is pitch black dark, and I use a relatively quiet ticking clock as white noise.

The Saphris helps. I will also use Valium if I am really wound up. My biggest problem is not so much the getting to sleep, but managing to go to sleep if I wake up during the night/ need to go to the toilet etc. If that happens, I find it easier to turn on the tv and try to snooze in the couch rather than laying in bed listening to the silence
