Do any of you have trouble with insomnia? I'm really having a problem with it on a regular basis. From talking with people my age (45) a lot of people seem to have the same problem. Any suggestions on how to overcome insomnia without drugs? :frustrated:
Sincerely,

I just read today in the doctor's office (annual eye check) that, according to a recent National Sleep Foundation survey, 7 out of 10 Americans have trouble sleeping for myriad reasons. 40% or more have experienced or suffer from insomnia. Some people can't sleep because of pregnancy or "old lady" stuff -- this would be the chemicals/hormones messing with us. (Yeah, I didn't dream this up.) Many women also can't sleep because of the "rushing-ness" of their lives. (That's a real surprise too.)
I had two other thoughts, Beth.
Do you have a good mattress?
Do you have allergies, like to dust mites that hide in beds and pillows?
