   Suggestions –

   Poor sleepers do not clear caffeine from their systems as rapidly as normal sleepers. Even one cup of coffee at breakfast only was enough to keep them awake at night. A two week trial of no caffeine may be beneficial.
   Sleep in complete darkness. A recent study indicated that even dim artificial light may disrupt sleep and melatonin production.
   Don’t nap. Sleep disturbances may encourage napping during the day, which can make it harder to fall asleep at a normal hour. Avoiding naps can promote sleep at an earlier hour.
   Try taking your watch off and any clocks out of the room. This simple technique has worked for a surprising number of people.
   Reading for 45-60 minutes.
   Aerobic exercise 3-5 times per week.
   Many with FMS need a water bed, sometimes even with an egg-crate pad. Some need a hard bed. Find out what works for you. Go to a store and try some.
   If hypoglycemia is a problem, some are helped by a snack before going to bed.
   Go to bed only when you are sleepy but get up at the same time each morning.
   If medication is necessary, find out which works for you. Don’t give up – good sleep is worth the search.
   Vitamin B12 can help with fatigue, insomnia, depression, and the anxiety of getting older, especially if low stomach acid is suspected. Shots may be required for large doses.

   Mild acting agents like homeopathic preparations, chamomile tea, a long relaxing bath, or a touch of sea salt on the tongue with a glass of water can be tried.

   5-HTP, Amino acid tryptophan – supplementing the diet with tryptophan before going to bed may produce good results in relieving insomnia.

   Magnesium supplement
