Having trouble sleeping through the night can be caused by a number of different things. Anxiety, depression, sinus issues, sleep apnea, even the beginnings of menopause...

I suffered from insomnia for over 2 years due to surgically induced menopause. I tried every rx sleeping pill and couldn't go to sleep or stay asleep. Now my rheumatologist put me on Elavil (an older antidepressant) at night to help me sleep and it works! I sleep every night. I still wake up a few times a night - I have chronic pain issues, but I fall back asleep. Good luck with this, I know how bad it feels to not get enough sleep...hugs jilly

thanks guys for your help..i have decided that i am not going to ask or take sleeping pills....i have been reading about them and they disturb your natural sleeping patterns.....and most people are saying they cant get to sleep unless they take em....so i dont need another pill i gotta take so i will plod on and wake at 4 and hopefully it will fix itself.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
