How can I get better sleep ?

I have very un-restful sleep and repeatedly wake up during the night (especially at about 3 or 4 am)and lie awake for ages before i can drift into un-restful sleep again. I’m always really tired during the day because of it but am never tired when i go to bed (frustrating!)

Any tips on getting better sleep ?

Do video games cause insomnia or make it harder to fall asleep?

Well, recently over spring brake, I’ve been really absorbed in the first splinter cell, but I find that if I play it before I go to bed (or almost any video game for that matter) I either have difficulty falling asleep because my mind is still “stuck” in the game or wanders and it takes me hours to get to sleep, or I wake up at 2 in the morining and can’t get back to sleep… So, could someone please tell me if video games cause insomnia?

Thanks!

Any advice on sleeping aids for long flights?

I am flying to Korea next week. The total airtime for the longest portion of the trip will be about 12 hours. I would like to sleep for at least 4-5 of those hours so I won’t have to eat my own foot due to lack of entertainment and severe boredom. I have heard a nice strong shot of whiskey will do it. But I am not so sure how I would do being drunk in a kindergarten style chair the airline industry calls a “seat”. Can anyone who has some experience in this field recommend a sleeping aid that will knock me out for a few hours but won’t make me feel disgusting when I wake up? I would prefer it to be OTC.

And if you also know any tricks on avoiding jet lag- throw some of those in too.

Why do I sweat during sleep?

For the past 3 or 4 nights, I’ve been waking up at 3 hour intervals. I’m in the process of quitting smoking and while not cold turkey, my nicotine consumption has decreased significantly. I’m drinking more water than I would usually and my blood pressure can get low. I’m hoping these sweats are telling of something only benign.
