Staying asleep is also my problem. Nothing that I've tried--pretty much every prescription and over the counter remedy--seems to help. I seem to remember that I slept better when I worked out regularly, so maybe once I get back into that habit my sleep will improve [fingers crossed]. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
