There are two ways of spreading light:
Be the candle; or the mirror that reflects it

Don't ask why someone is still hurting you; ask why you keep letting them.What you allow continues.

At some point you have to get sick of going through the same sh!t.

Women are NOT rehabilitation centers for badly raised men. It is not your job to fix ,parent, raise or change him.
You want a partner not a project.

When you're under stress, it's easy to let healthy habits slide. But getting a good night's sleep is especially important when the pressure's on.

Need more help?

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.

Try these tips for getting a better night's sleep:

Stick to your routine. You may be tempted to stay up late and sleep in on the weekends and holidays. But too much variation in your sleep cycle can make it difficult to get back on track when it's time to return to your regular routine.

Get some exercise. Physical activity is crucial for a good night's sleep. Just don't work-out too close to bedtime.

Enjoy moderation. Indulging in a heavy meal and alcohol just before bedtime almost guarantees interrupted sleep. Too many drinks just before bedtime can also mean nighttime trips to the bathroom.

Make time to unwind. If you're frazzled and hassled all day, it's not reasonable to think that within a few minutes of hitting the sack you'll fall asleep. Give yourself 30 minutes or so to wind down.

Clear the room. When you're stressed out and distracted, it's hard to fall asleep. So turn off the cell phone and the laptop at least an hour before bedtime.

I have been going for a 2-3 mile run around 7:00pm. by the time I get back and shower, its about 8-8:15. I have time to relax with D10 watching some TV until she falls asleep around 9:00pm. I can then hit the sack and be out between 9:30 & 10:00.

Been doing wonders relieving stress too!

One of the guys wrote on another that self medicating with alcohol doesn’t work I can confirm this to be the case.
I found that the alcohol I consumed was a big cause of my sleep depravation rather than an aid to sleep.  Drink too much in the evening and that was the volume that I would pass through the night getting up out of bed several times.

Quote from: Init
alcohol just before bedtime almost guarantees interrupted sleep. Too many drinks just before bedtime can also mean night time trips to the bathroom.
Yes I can confirm

So I’ve just read some of the tips on the other links.

Things that I think will work for me

Light music - that stops my brain rushing at a hundred miles an hour.
Total darkness - the curtains are thin in my room so I’m going to try a sleeping mask.
Temperature – If I get it right I can sleep, otherwise I’m a sweaty mess or a shivering wreck.

I’m gonna miss the alcohol but it was doing me no good at all.
