There is nothing worse than not being able to get to sleep and the more anxious you get the worse you become.
Lavender may help you relax and a book to read.......well if you cannae sleep you may as well read a good book!
Normally if I cannot sleep I get up make myself a drink and then watch some tv, and then go back to bed.

I have a Lavender plug in in the bedroom, helps him sleep and snore, I usually get up come downstairs and make a drink, have a read etc, but last night NOTHING worked
Thanks for the tips though Angel bless you xx

A few weeks back I was going to bed at 11 and wakening up at the back of one and that would be me, and for nights on end no matter how tired I was it was always the same. So I decided to stay up until the back of one and then that killed that! One thing I didn't do was boot up the computer.
they say a milky drink helps....unless you are on a diet like me!

sometimes being Overtired can stop you sleeping. I know it does that to me.
An old Doctor once told me that you should train your mind into thinking quiet thoughts when you go to bed, and leave the cares of the day behind.
Sometimes when I can't sleep, I try to focus my mind on an empty beach with palm trees swaying gently and little waves lapping round my feet. Sounds strange, but it works. Another thing I try is playing soft peaceful music very quietly, it often works too.

I have some talking books my Lady so they do work, just didn't want to start rummaging round, thing is I had been off work for 4 months with stress (not work related) went back to work Mid March, then 2 weeks ago got Viral Laryngitis, but going back next week

Stress can play havoc with the subconcious. I find if I've had a particularly stressful day I have a horrendous nights sleep.
Hope things sort itself out for you El

A nice relaxing bath does work wonders. So many people shower nowadays though, and that does nothing for stress levels.

He is hopefully going back to those sorts of shifts Ricky mate, has seen the force Doc this week as there was conflicting opinions on the Airwaves system, he only does 4 hours a day Mon - Fri just now.
You are right my friend the shifts do your head in.
