Headstrong - looking at your signature, we have some very similar symptoms. My doctor has not outright said so, but has alluded to anxiety being a cause of my sleep problems also. I'm not buying it, not 100% at least. I feel like there must be more to the issue. Did your doctor mention whether the anxiety issue that affects sleep will just gradually pass? What concerns me is reading stories of ex-NFL players who say they have sleep problems for many yrs after retiring from the sport. The thought of dealing with this problem for an indefinite number of yrs is scary.

I bought a magnesium powder called Calm and gave it a try last night. Started with a small dose. I still woke up probably about 5 or 6 times, but I felt like I was able to fall asleep each time a little bit easier. Crossing my fingers to have a little success with this product.
