Okay, my apologies, but I'm speaking as a psychologist, if you don't mind too very much. Sleep research indicates strongly that one should never lie in bed not sleeping. If you cannot get to sleep in the bed after 20 minutes, get up and do something utterly boring for you (in my case I play solitaire) until you feel sleepy. Make sure that going to bed and putting your head on the pillow is associated with nothing except sleep or sex. One should not let getting in bed get associated with reading, television, or lying awake. One should make sure that lying down in bed in associated only with going to sleep.

I have had insomnia for over 40 years, and I attest that following the above rules helps mightily with sleep. I can also attest that many of my patients have reported the same as have many research articles from sleep labs.

Give it a try. And happy dreams to you.
