I used to have trouble with sleeping. I would go to bed around 11pm and sometimes not actually fall asleep till 2am. My mind would race all night! I take a sleep aid now around 8-9pm and I'm out like a light within a half hour. I get up at 6am to work. I don't take the med on weekends, so bedtime is anywhere from 9pm to 2am, and I'm always awake by 7am.
