That might be one of the problems pap, even thou you're drinking it in the morning it is filling your body with sugar. Cut out the lucozade, cut out caffene (ie coke, tea, coffee). No tv or pc before bed, it will just stimulate the mind too much.
Try a little meditation, or just deep breathing excercises...lie in bed, feet slightly apart, arms by your side palms up. Breathe normally & don't try to force it. On the in breath imagine fresh clean air going in your nose, down your throat & filling your lungs, when you breathe out imagine the air is going out from your belly, taking with it all the thoughts & worries.
As you keep breathing imagine your body getting clearer & clearer of these thoughts & stresses.
Also, you've prob been told this, and I don't mean it in a nasty way, but when I was having trouble sleeping (still do now & then) the doc told me that excercise helps.
I don't like to use tablets cos when you stop them (or they become ineffective :rolleyes: ) the reason for not sleeping is still there, it doesn't solve the problem in the long run.

thanks all
i have tried reading but i push myself (ie another chapter etc ect) and it just keeps me up more... may try it tonight.
Raph i have tried not drinking L or caffine but i end up falling asleep in the sink! :rotfl: not a good idea. Last night i fell asleep at about 4am but then was woke up at 6... went back to bed and nearly missed my lift :rolleyes:
To be honest i think i am ill badly because all day today i have had the shakes and now and on the way home i am boiling and sweating like mad. Also my head is pounding :rolleyes: i suspect its the lack of sleep... i have all day tomm off so i am planning on staying in bed as long as i can :rotfl:
work was awfull nearly didnt get a break, someone was adimant that they were being trained (2 out of teh 3 of us) so most of the day i have been on my own... nothings done there is no prep for the weekend and i am working so god help us as we nothing to serve :rotfl:0 -
