Mel you could be stressed,and work overload. Relax more, take some walks, and after your walks, take a nice warm bath to help relief the tension. I hope this help,and take great care of yourself. xoxoxo!

Burn the midnight oil on this site. When you are tired, you will have a sound sleep. That is my experience.

When you do fall asleep,how long do you sleep?You may just have to slowly juggle the hours around a bit,the hell with the meds...
