You have to do what is most relaxing to you. For me, it's reading. If I'm having a hard time sleeping, I can pick-up a book and after 10-15 pages, I fall asleep. However, that doesn't mean I stay asleep. I get up every two hours to wee, no matter what I do. I don't drink anything after about 6:00, but that has never made a difference. Several of my women friends have insomnia or wake up periodically throughout the night. I think hormones can play a part, as well as thyroid.
