Sleep issues

I would be very interested in tips on how to improve sleep too... The past months have been awful. Can't fall asleep before 2 or 3 am at best no matter how tired... and even then I sleep only 1-2 hours, am awake again... I do sleep better in the mornings so I get 2-3 hours in then but it is very problematic with work etc... 

In the past, listening to audiobooks helped me fall asleep but it does nothing for me at the moment... A few things that come to mind is- could there be anything in the room that could be 'bothering her'? Temperature, lights, any sounds etc. It could be subtle ... I have found in the past that when I moved, my sleep would worsen or improve for no apparent reason... I suspect that it could be due to some environmental factor that I hadn't pinpointed... 

I think someone mentioned it before but food/diet can have a role too... I struggle with eating enough and digestion and I think that is a big part of the problem too... if I undereat or my blood sugar drops too low at night, then I think that stops me from sleeping or wakes me up... I frequently have to even snack at night at moment (which is not ideal but it is what it is...). Of course then if my digestion is upset and I have bloating or nausea etc. that will also keep me from sleeping.... I don't know but sometimes a snack or maybe a hot drink before bed could help?? 

Other things that I have experimented is is having heavier blankets... the weight can be comforting. Hugging my cuddly toy has helped too in past. 

Exercise helps I think... 

The other issue I have is that the more tired and sleep deprived I am the less able I am to sleep... 

I've tried getting up, doing an activity and then going back to bed to see if that helps... it sounds like you have tried that already though...

Maybe music is something else that could help- haven't tried it yet.. 

Not sure if any of this is of any use... I feel like it's just a list of things I have tried which haven't really worked... I'm sorry I can't really help...
