This information is second-hand, as I learned it from a friend who took her son to a sleeping disorder doctor.
His advice for those who are having trouble sleeping...
We all know about having a place for sleep, and sleep only. No late-night television. No caffeine or eating right before bed. But he also suggested:
* Two hours before bedtime, no computer. The bright screen throws your sleeping mechanism off.
* Two hours before those two hours of bedtime (i.e., 4 hours before bedtime), if you're on the computer, put the overhead light on. Don't do it in the dark.
* If you can't sleep while lying still in bed for 30 minutes, get up and read something. It should be something non-stimulating, almost boring, by soft light.
Of course, this is general advice for people who do not have severe sleeping disorders.
