Put a form fitted sheet on a twin size mattress. Lay a King size quilt on top, but do not tuck it in.
Lie on the mattress and pull a corner of that massive quilt over you. The rest of the quilt makes a nice "nest" around you. When you get up at night, your return to the nest is inviting and comfy.
On those night when a racing mind keeps you tossing and turning, write those thoughts in your journal, or read a few of your favorite blogs.
An over stuffed chair in front of the Tv is handy. I have earphones so the sound does not disturb my neighbors. Late night TV is filled with long boring commercials, so it does not require any concentration.
As morning approaches, the best sleep comes after the first call to breakfast, lay your head on your pillow for a few minutes extra rest and you're sure to sleep for an extra hour or more.
And if all fails, an afternoon nap is delicious.

Sounds like a good remedy. I often get up at night because I don't sleep well and read journals and have been known to make entries far into the night or very early morning hours. Then it is hard to get going in the morning after waking up again. Helen

during the holidays I bought myself an electric mattress pad and an electric blanket. oh you talking about something that feels like a million bucks is to turn it on and let it be warm when you climb into it. you are sandwiched in heat that makes your bones and muscles relax so fast that sleep will start before a commercial on tv is over. I recommend it to the world
Sounds like a good formula. Hope the New year is the best ever. Bam
