I thought they may keep me in and monitor me, no such thing, just had 'talks' over Skype, with someone that appeared to be a sort of life coach. Waste of time !!Very 'bad' food can give me a couple of hours sleep - sort of all comotose, but it has to be in such an amount and full of calories, that I would put on weight, and that only works for so long.
I've tried alcohol, even Night Nurse !! Oh and Turkey sandwiches before bed too!!

I've always had problems sleeping, even as far back as 5 years old. My early teens were bad too, seemed to get better in my twenties/thirties, but then forties onwards, downhill all the way !! Not helped meeting a musician in my early forties, who would often come home at 3.00 in the morning, and once I was distrubed that was it !! I can sometimes go 3/4 days without a wink of sleep. I worked like that for years and then suddenly after a particulary stressful period at work, I would go 5/6 days without sleep. That's when I had to retire, I couldn't function. Thought once I gave up work, I'd be ok, but unfortunately not !

It's a shame you can't take a wee glass of wine and fall asleep. That works for me sometimes.
