    I would just drink more wine than usuall as suggested, that will do the trick. Then look through the hangover threads on this forum. Apparantly bannanas help, go to bed with a bannanana. ;)

    To prevent a hangover try taking two aspirins before you go to bed. This works for me every time. And if it's really bad a couple of paracetamol in the morning!

    On the sleeping I'd say get out and try to do something very physical at some stage in the day, whatever suits you but a big long walk or digging in the garden or cycling or something. If you get yourself properly physically tired it helps a lot. And don't go to bed till you're dropping with sleep. I usually have a nice bath and clean my teeth etc early on and then potter about and watch tv or whatever till I feel really properly tired. This is often a bit later than my regular bedtime.

    Let us know how you go...

    I use the 2 tabs a night Nytol occasionally. Usually when I am too excited to go to sleep. This may often be after a night out when I dare say I will have consumed a glass of wine or two! I take only one tablet and then read or watch a bit of TV. Usually this works for me. Last week-end we went to a wedding and stayed over at a hotel. This turned out to be a 2 tablet night. I did the usual routine of taking one tablet and reading but when I lay down I still could not get to sleep so I took another one. The next day I had a rather dry mouth all day but at least I got about 7 hours decent sleep.

    I find Nytol to be a very useful aid for the odd restless night.

    Well, I've got 2 nights alone left and I'm pleased to report that I have slept very well without the aid of Nytol or excessive alcohol :D

    What's done the trick is setting the burglar alarm downstairs before going up to bed. This has meant the 'burglar ear' inside my head has not switched itself on and I've been able to sleep through the night instead of constantly waking every time a cat yowls outside.

    Thanks for all your help though:T

    Valium and Gin works a treat, I usually pick some Valium up on trips abroad, you can get some very funky stuff from chemists overseas without a prescription.
