What you have described is exactly ME!

DH gets into bed and is alseep faster then i can say good night.....where as i lay there and cant sleep. Even if im dead tired i just cant sleep.

I once seen someone about it and she suggested i keep a notebook by my bed and write everything down thats on my mind, then close the book and forget about it all til morning. That never worked.

She said trying thinking of a story in my mind and focus on it anf id drift off with the story playing and it would turn into a dream. Never worked.

Counting backwards...forwards, or by 2's. Never worked

Burn relaxing candles or soft music 30 mins before bed. Never worked

Try reading or watching tv, on the computer til you feel sleepy. [B]Never worked[/B

In conclusion: nothing worked and nothing still works...other then sleeping pills 1-2 times a week just to get *some* sleep.
