I sometimes have trouble falling asleep but my real problem is I rarely stay asleep. It isn't usual for me to wake up every one to two hours.
It isn't noise or a change in the light that wakes me. I work nights so I've a sound screen (white noise generator) and black out curtains. My bed is only a few months old and it, along with all my other bedding, is wonderfully comfortable.
I believe part of the problem is that sometimes my dreams become involved and stressful causing me to wake up. Things like worrying about schedule changes and other "math/scheduling" style problems.
I don't think I am that stressed but I often have a hard time relaxing in general. Tea, baths, music, and yoga help but I’m open to more suggestion.
Having a cat doesn't help too much either. When I'm in a light sleep her walking on the bed or moving is enough to wake me.
I'm sure I'm not the only person having problems getting a good night sleep so I'm wondering what worked for other people.
