I'm surprised after reading this thread that no-one has suggested horlicks immediately before going to bed. A woman suggested I try it as I also had problems getting off to sleep even with the Tesco sleep aid tablets. I tried it and I don't think it helped much for the first week or 10 days but now after a few weeks I find it very helpful. Heat about half pint of milk in cup in microwave add sugar if you prefer and about 4 heaped spoons of horlicks. I'm now asleep within a few mins of going to bed. Worth a try honest!

As its my birthday, im banjacksed on 3 botts of Chateau haut-beynat, off my sisters, to help me sleep, but i have just Posted replys to i think 3 five year old threads, one realy upset me, some one being nasty to a lad who was asking for help, i just realised and hope i deleted my reply, i think Wozz is following me and making sure i,l get home safely.

sorry to report the contrary but as long as i can remember i've been the opposite to u unfortunate blokes,i just sleep too readily even in leaf sprung land rovers on the move! i can go to bed @ 10 & still struggle to rise @ 7. very occasionally something can worry me & make me suffer as you all do.& i'd love to be able to rise @ 5 especially in the summer,so i can't imagine what its like to have that condition.
Oh I yeh,horlicks,forgot about that. I remember a female passenger saying,"I don't know how you sleep at night" Must of been something to do with a passenger running for the bus that I left behind. I replied,"horlicks"
I also went for decades being unable to get a good night uninterrupted sleep, waking up constantly during the night even going to bed at 2:30am didn't make me tired enough to sleep through, however I was my own worst enemy, 5-6+ cups of coffee a day, I also have arrhythmia and being tired all the time I was forever relying on coffee to get through the day due to only getting 4-6 hours of very broken sleep.
My arrhythmia was getting worse so I decided that no more than 2 cups of coffee for me for the day with the last one no later than 5pm. Now most nights I sleep through and my arrhythmia has improved about 50%.
Do miss my coffee though, so I susbstituted the missing ones with Rooibos tea. (no caffiene). It doesn't taste the same but still drinkable, and it doesn't contribute to my arrhythmia.
Cheers
