Thank you for posting the Sleep Hygiene link.

I follow most if not all the sleep recommendations. Sometimes I may need sleep aids. But, I need to be responsible with my medications and it makes good sense to me that the purpose of sleep aids is to help re-establish healthy sleep patterns without the further need for sleep aids.

I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.
