to set up a strict bedtime and before bed routine

[xylem8]

.. for myself?
In a bid to beat insomnia.will it work?

Yes it will work. When I stay up late mumsnetting I sleep badly.
If I go to bed at a reasonable time, relaxed, I sleep well.

Good idea, I have just started doing this and it is excellent.

Seriously do it!

I started doing this as I wasn't struggling to get up with baby and constantly tired.

Now I go to bed at 11. And I mean drop what your doing its 11 if necessary. Sometimes I read or mn but that stops at 12 no excuses, no end of chapter, it's an exciting bit etc

It's the only way, if I'm not completely hard line with myself then I just take the piss
