Now there's a diagnosis you don't expect!
I do know how youl feel, I went through severe insomnia about 18 months or so ago, i was diagnosed with mild depression. The medication helped to sort that out, I came off the medication and now my sleep pattern is pretty much sorted out.

I do believe it's possible to be physically tired and not mentally tired. Have you tried reading before bed, or trying to do something that works your brain so that it too becomes tired?

Re: Sleep aids

I drink before bedtime, or up to bedtime, whatever ... but not specifically to help me sleep. It just helps me get drunk.

Are you posting from work, Mr Acc ?

Shouldn't you be standing near a slide projector, explaining the meaning of "Commitment" & "Team Working" ?
or vigorously scribbling on a flip chart??

.....lazy git !

I read every night to try and get my brain to shut down a bit but then I get so involved in the book I end up reading for hours lol

I'm hopeless!
