nawchem, all good suggestions about my sleep issues. I'm not quite an "official" insomniac anymore, but I used to be when I was younger, and under stress my sleep is the first thing to go.

I have to watch out for booze as I have a tendency to overdo it; I've tried "just 1" glass of wine to get to sleep, and too often it's turned into most or all of the bottle before drowsiness finally comes. And then I have to cope with a hangover the next morning--not fun.
