Hi Synn

Welcome!

There are alot of things that can contribute to sleeplessness. Stress, diet, weight, etc...

I used to have the same problem with sleeping. I had an endless circle of too much caffene, too much sugar, carb blast of energy, followed by carb blasts of lethargy....ugh. Weekends would result in adding a boat load of booze (I'm a dancing fool!)

To top all of this off I would agonise over all sorts of issues and stress myself out completely...

My answer: The Atkins thing has really helped because I stopped all that nonsense with the food and booze. I also have taken to going to bed at the same time every night and waking up (refreshed) at the same time - weekend or weekday. if I am a little tense I take a shower or a bath before bed and I have a little quiet time to read a magazine and listen to some nice music.

I used to love to nap, but I think that it can disrupt sleep too. I ain't a scientist, I just know that I need to go to bed tired...

I hope some of this helps....

K
