> Gotta agree - one reason I do get stuck staying up late is either web surfing (or on here!) and/or watching stupid TV. What has helped in the past is having a sort of bedtime ritual that includes no TV or PCs, but maybe a cup of camomile tea, and reading a few pages of something like The Four Agreements or Simple Abundance. Maybe candles, even, to create a soft, safe atmosphere for myself. Create a little haven for yourself at that time and give yourself permission to let all of your thoughts go and try just to let go of it all. And then, or course, exercise - maybe a walk after dinner at sunset, or harder cardio each morning. Good luck -

No caffeine or sugar laced products after lunch. If you get the munchies try a bowl of porridge or a sandwich around 10. And then try to fold laundry, etc.

I will put your imput into practice!
I tried to read "War and Peace" by
Tolstoy because someone here recommended
I do that, but I found the book to be
very good. Maybe, I will try an
engineering book; I find engineering
to be quite boring. (I hope I didn't
offend anybody with that last statement).If anyone comes up with any other ideas,
please let me know.Thanks again, Glenn
