Sleeping issues...

Hello boys & girls of BD - or should I say Good Morning?

I shall refrain because as far as I'm concerned, I cannot sleep and therefore it is still night!

I've had trouble sleeping in the past few days, grabbing what I would consider the bare essential amount of 2/3 hours a night, all interspersed with awakenings and general disturbances.

I've never had issues before and frankly LOVE sleep - a factor that seems to multiply the frustrations of my "insomniatic-episodes!" (to any true insomniacs I certainly dont look to compare to your conditions - I am feeling dreadful from the tiniest pinch of sleep-lack!)

I have been to bed, failed to sleep, read, meditated, relaxed, bathed, allsorts and nothing would appear to get my mind in correct state for relaxing and sleepytime!

I am plagued with bad dreams at present that awaken me when I do slumber and I feel whatever is causing this dream-disturbances may also be the reasoning behind why my mind won't relax enough to release me into sleep!

For medical reasons I cannot take the majority of medication available to the masses, and the one time I took "night nurse" I awoke with the world's most hellish hangover with no 'memories' to get me through the pain!

What suggestions might our knowledgable and experienced crew be able to suggest to help rid me of this annoying, frustrating hinderance??

Thanks in advance and apologies for delay - after a few hours kip I am rather lathargic in undertaking anything and might not be able to bear such hassles as lifting laptop lid and pressing shiny on button!

Much love - J
