I'd love to help anyone else who is or gas been struggling.
I have struggled with erratic sleep patterns since the '80s......in fact I watched so many OU programmes during the night, that I became a mature student and Graduated with an MA degree in 2005!!!! I drink decaff coffee now, and try to keep to a week night bedtime routine, but it's still very much a hit and miss as to whether I will nod off within an hour or two, or if I'll be wide awake from 3-4a.m. which makes it a very long day.
A lovely nurse yesterday enrolled me in a Sleep Management course, which she says it isn't liable to offer a magic solution, but hopefully something will click and work for me - I'll let you know!!!!
