Oh man, been there.

Whatever it takes, get the sleep. Lack of it only seems to make it worse.

Exercise does indeed help, but not too late, it can rev you up and have the opposite effect.

One thing that works for me is setting a time for bed and sticking to it. Chill out an hour before, no TV, no coffee after noon, no sleeping with the music on. takes a bit but becomes a routine.

And it also helps to talk to someone about life’s stresses.

GL with it!

i totally understand this, but the song was “the lion sleeps tonight”. nothing like wheem-oh-way-a-wheem-oh-way as the background music to all the worries. one thing i’ve started doing is reading positive, peaceful material, since it seems to at least make my eyes drowsy plus gives me something pleasant to think about while i drift off. there are some good nature cd’s out there too, like trickling water or rainforest sounds and that seems to help. one good thing, our bodies do win in the end, so no need to worry about it, it takes care of itself, and sometimes we just have to roll with it. i’ve heard that einstein supposedly catnapped his way through life for the most part, but i’m sure even he slept in when his body said, enough!
