Thanks for replying BD.

Is there anything that you can recommend that you do to manage it (sleep)? Usually I just don't try to sleep until I'm actually shattered because then I won't be just lying there making myself feel anxious. I've used sleeping pills before as well. That's probably bad

I do think it'd be best to do something.
