Are there any ways to get me to sleep the whole night that don't involve sleep medications?

For New Years I went to Colorado for a few weeks vacation and had no trouble sleeping there. Ever since I've been back in Florida I haven't been able to sleep the whole night without waking up at least once.

Every night I go to sleep betwen 12:00 and 12:30 and read a magazine or book before going to sleep. I don't have any trouble getting to sleep, but for some reason I wake up between 3:15 and 3:45 every single night.

When I wake up I always remember my dream extremely vividly and think about it for a second. Then I listen to see if there is any sound that might have woken me up, but I never hear anything. Then I look at the clock and go right back to bed without any trouble.

About half the time I wake up around 6:00 to 6:30 and repeat the same pattern as before.

I've had trouble getting to sleep before, but never staying asleep.

Aside from taking medication, what else can I do?

Thanks for the tips. I am pretty physically active in the morning (I lift weights and run on the elliptical for 30 minutes) and I play tennis almost every night between 8:00 and 10:00pm. I am physically fit and don't drink anything with alcohol or caffeine.

Maybe its the fact that I am eating heavy meals late (sometimes past 11:00pm). I also usually drink a bottle of water a little before going to bed, but when I wake up at night I don't feel like I have to go to the bathroom.

I'm going to try eating dinner earlier and the warm glass of milk before going to bed.

you said that you had no problems sleeping when you were on vacation in Colorado for a few weeks, but started having the problems again when you got back to Florida. is it possible you are under a lot of stress in Florida? Maybe it is the humidity but sounds like a lot of stress there hunny. maybe stress that you aren't really aware of..
