Since I can remember I have had absolutely no problem falling asleep.
I use to hear people saying that they were unable to sleep and tease them saying that the reason I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow is because I have a clear conscience.
Well these days I am unable to sleep and I do still have a clear conscience... unfortunately it is palpitations keeping me awake for half of the night and the Smokey-Joe keeping me awake the other half.
I have tried many remedies for sleep with no luck.
Smokey-Joe has been quite lonely since the passing of his little buddy Smudge and wanders the house looking for her at night.
When he is unable to find her he starts trying to get me out of bed by using his toes to pull my hair, headbutting me and digging at the blankets.
To say the least it is annoying and I would shut the bedroom door if it wasn't a loft and has no door!
So between palpitations and Smokey-Joe I manage to get about 2 hours of sleep a night .
Anyone have any suggestions to help me get a good night's sleep?
What things keep you awake at night?

Doctor Day
Well today I go to the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist for our regular 6 month scope.
I know he will not be pleased with me as I have gone back to smoking ...here we go.
I know I really must quit and have tried everything from patches, pills, willpower (which apparently is weak),books, counselling,hypnotisim(a number of times), gums, lozenges...I quit for a while and then start again.
This time I plan on quitting for good but am still in for a tongue lashing once he does my scope and sees that I went back to smoking.
This time I plan on staying quit and not give in to feeding that nicotine monster anymore.
Have any of you quit smoking?
Any suggestions or quitting strategies?
