Re: Not sleeping
Hi @Kezza1977,
Not having a good night? Me too.
Feel free to expand on your stressors if you think it will help?
I'm making myself a cup of tea and trying to think of what I can do right now that isn't too activating/stressing.

Re: Not sleeping
Try drinking valerian root tea if you haven't yet. Really good for insomnia and anxiety because of it's calming properties. Just warning

Hi @Kezza1977, @Mazey, welcome for the forum. I'm awake too after a few hours sleep tonight, so thought I'd say hello. 
If you would like to introduce yourselves to everyone, there is a discussion thread for that here. Or, feel free to start your own discussions, as has been done with this one.
If you would like to tag other members so that they receive a notification of your response, you do that by typing, for example, @Mazarita.
I hope you both find the forums helpful, as I have.

Re: Not sleeping
Also you could try youtubing some stretches you can do before bed that focus on winding down physically and mentally. Meditation has helped me a lot with sleeping problems so get into that even if you only have time for ten or so minutes a day. Even the classic warm milk and an easy read does wonders for me. 🙂 Perhaps talk to your doctor about adjusting the dosage of your sleepers whether it needs to be higher or lower. I'm not sure about sleeping pills but i know that some medication doesn't work as well if the dosage is too high. Hope this helps and you start getting more rest!
