Oh my. Great thread. I've tried a lot of these suggestions over the years. Some helped once or twice, some a little more, but for a few years 3-4 hours of sleep a night was all I got. I don't know what changed in the last couple years, but I sleep in general so much better. Probably 6-8 hours a night.

One thing that's been constant for probably 15 years is that I have to have a fan running (white noise). I've always walked 4-5 days a week for a good hour each time. Only in the last few months have I taken up consistently stretching. I really think it helps me unwind, relaxes the muscles. Having the covers, sheets, and pillow just so is a must (I think I have a touch of OCD).

Some things that never worked for me: cutting out caffeine and super busy days actually make me more wound up.

I don't know if this will help anyone, I didn't find it helpful myself, but someone I knew would chant "sleep is good" until she fell asleep. She found it quite helpful.

I hope you all get a good nights rest!
