I can't believe you medicine-happy Americans can't think of anything other than drugs.

It sounds cheesy, but eating healthy and working out will go a long way. I'm one of those types that always has bags under his eyes, trouble falling asleep, feeling ridiculously tired in the morning regardless of whether I slept enough etc.

The best period in my life sleep-wise was when I was in wrestling. I ate healthy, busted ass in practice, and fell asleep at nine PM, to wake up well-rested the next morning.

I think I agree with this. IMO way too many people in this country are taking medications when what they ought to be doing is tweaking their daily routines.

suzzer, I've got some questions for you:
How many caffeinated drinks do you drink per day?
How long before bedtime do you have your last caffeinated drink?
Do you watch television/go on the computer shortly before going to bed?
Is your mattress comfortable?
Do you read before going off to bed?

My sleep got much better after I stopped drinking colas right before bed (now I avoid caffeine four hours before bed) and shut off the TV 20 minutes before bedtime. Some reading is just enough for me to start nodding off. Now instead of laying there for an hour, I'm typically asleep within fifteen minutes.
