  I have no trouble falling asleep - I'm out before I hit horizontal. My challenge is that around 3am, I wake up - wide awake! The last time I look at the clock before finally dozing off is usually going on 5am. The alarm goes off at 5:15. I never have 8 hours to "devote to sleep" as the sleep aids say, and as a single mom of 3, I am afraid to take anything that might prevent me waking should I NEED to. Any suggestions?

  I can get to sleep around 10 or 10:30pm and sleep until about 3am. Then I wake up every 15 minutes or so, until I am eventually up for good at 5:45am. We just bought a new mattesss a few months back, but I still toss and turn all night. And, I am such a light sleeper. The slightest peep will wake me up. HELP!!

  When I sleep I need a pillow under my arms and white noise, in the summer its a fan and in the winter its water sound CD. I'm a light sleeper also so the white noise helps me not hear everything else that's going on in my house.

  SLEEP APNEA

  If you have problems falling asleep or staying asleep try this:

  Turn off all the circuit breakers (CB) in your house or apartment except the one going to your refrigerator and freezer. If you do not know which CB, open the door to the refrigerator and turn off CB’s until the light goes out in the refrigerator. Now, turn it back on and turn the rest off. If you need heat or air, you should leave this one on too. This circuit breaker will be a double, about 20amperes. But if you want to sleep you will turn this off too just for this experiment. You will need a flashlight and a battery powered an alarm clock if you need one to wake up by if this experiment works for you?

  The ideal is to get as far away from an electrical outlet or wiring as possible. In order to do this you should sleep as greater distant from the Refrigerator and CB box as possible. Sleeping on the other side of the wall from the refrigerator do not count as distant. If you live in an apartment it will be hard to get away from outlets and wiring due to the person living next door. You can get them in on this experiment. You must consider those living below, behind, on top, and on each side. In a big house it should be good to go. Also, sleep as far as possible from power lines outside.
