I've been sleeping poorly in the last 5 years or so too, after some considerable head-scratching I think it's just old age. I find sleeping in a cool/cold room helps a bit though.

Yes, I used to sleep brilliantly. Past 5 years or so - terrible.

 

I have the heating off in the bedroom and the balcony door open. Does help, but not always.

Morning all. I'm a long time lurker on this thread. But about time I plucked up the courage and admit......."My name's Wolfy and I'm an insomniac".

Opposite for me, I have to be nice and warm to sleep well. The hotter the better. No chance of sleeping at all if I'm slightly cool. I had trouble sleeping then one night threw on a second duvet on the bed and now sleep ok most of the time. Only time I don't sleep now is like others when you have some subject going on in your head and can't switch it off. More scotch works then :lol:

Can't sleep. Maybe I should turn the music off and stop drinking? ;) Joking aside insomnia is / has been / can be a real issue for me, especially on the nights I'm in London...... But i try to keep away from my phone and t'interweb as I find that makes my mind work overtime.
