awe thank you Rhiannon :-)

As it was, I did go to bed at 4 and I did wake up at 7:30 :-)

I always think that mentally people think they have to stay in bed when they can't sleep as that is the done thing. However as long as you don't wake anybody else up, then getting up and having a drink and watching telly, listening to radio or surfing the Internet helps to take your mind off the problem of trying to get to sleep.

I think the thing to do is be positive about your sleeping pattern and value the time when you do get sleep and stop worrying about the times when you can't sleep and get up and do something - better than lying there getting all wound up and still not getting to sleep.
