Waking up tired (after fitful nights of tossing, turning, lying awake, occasionally snatching a few minutes of REM sleep) -- if you find the solution let us fellow insomniacs know!

Plenty of exercise during the day does help; not enough will keep me awake.
Stop eating at 7 pm - never mind that my spinster aunt said 'Never go to bed hungry." Her brother (my dad) at 88 still has hot cocoa every night before bedtime.
Doctors prescribe all manner of daily Rx - my 10 mg of amitriptyline seem to be failing. And I don't wanna increase the dose; I wanna get off the Rx ....
GOOD LUCK
You are not alone!
