      Yeah, stay WELL AWAY from tablets! A night cap might not be a bad idea? It's an old cure but not suggested much these days. Here is a link, 'How to make a Night Cap' http://www.ehow.com/how_2685_make-papaya-creamsicle.html Sounds nice! Maybe make a half gallon of the stuff (if you like it) and hold it in the fridge, marked with a BIG SIGN saying, HANDS OFF. PETE"S NIGHT CAP For medicinal purposes ONLY (in small print) Hey Pete! I can actually imagine you gulping down a glass of the mixture 😄

        I've been an insomniac for years. What works for me, is taking late-night strolls whilst listening to good music. Helps to get rid of mental cobwebs, if you know what I mean. Stops the mind from racing.

          Drink a couple of beers. No hard liquor or anything else but beer. Makes you nicely sleepy.

            Thanks for y'all responses guys.

            I'm definitely going to try the hour of sunlight thing, sounds like a good and logical plan.
            As for the alcohol thing, I'm probably going to skip that as we have a no drink in home policy (It's okay to get ripped at a pub 😉 )

            I tried watching PBS world (public broadcasting) which at those hours has pretty boring programming, however I ended up being totally engaged and now I know the biography's of Cezanne, Monet, Manet, Goya, Impressionism, expressionism, cubism, the history of the Medici's, all about brain elasticity, coral reefs, volcano's...etc. 😲

              Hi Pete, I'm a bit of a nightowl too but it's not down to clients but mainly doodling gets outta hand. But when I find it hard to hit the hay I 'brain train' on my missus' DS and before I know it ......Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

              if that fails I resort to Gaeius' remedy

              Guinness x2 does the trick everytime( to Arthur!!!!)

                I once read that waking up every day at exactly the same hour, even during weekends, helps regulate sleep. And when I have followed that advice, it indeed works.

                    DS = Nintendo DS handheld game system

                    Game systems are no longer just for kid's games, the DS even has full-blown Japanese dictionaries and other useful software.
