question: Do you have trouble going to sleep, or is the trouble actually in the waking up?

advice: As someone who has trouble sleeping sometimes due to the racing mind, Sonata has worked well as a medication. It's a hypnotic, so it just helps you get to sleep - it doesn't keep you asleep. But if you can't sleep because your brain won't settle down (for whatever reason), it might be a good thing to investigate. I wind up using on a weekly to semi-weekly basis, one to three nights, until my rhythm returns.

secret: I sleep a lot better next to my spouse.
