I too, have nights I can't seem to sleep a wink no matter what I try. My neuro says maybe I don't need as much sleep as some since I don't get sleepy during the day. I usually go to sleep OK but wake up in an hour or two and can't get back to sleep. After a half hour to an hour of laying there I get up and either read,or watch TV and get a cup of warm milk. Sometimes this works but more than not I fail to return to sleep. I do not work away from home but have a small accounting business which can be set aside if need be due to fatigue. I think lying in bed awake is not good and too much sleep medicine is habit forming and pretty soon it doesn't work anyway. I've tried the various PMs, and one or two prescription drugs but hate to stick with them too long. I've come to the conclusion that PD is the culprit and I just have to stick it out and look forward to a great sleep the next night. Sorry I'm not more help.
