Yes, I can see how hiding LED lights could work to help you fall asleep faster. I've also heard that people put heavy black blankets over their windows to cut out all the light, and even some street noise. My husband is like you: out cold ten minutes after hitting the pillow! You're lucky, lucky men :-) Thanks for your tip, Tyler. Yes, I can see how hiding LED lights could work to help you fall asleep faster.

My 16 year old son hasn't slept well since he was a baby -- since he was in the womb, really. He's a light sleeper and he always will be. Some people just never get a good night’s sleep!

Put a cloth over it, so you can't see what time it is. If you see that it's 2 or 3 am, then you'll get frustrated and worried about not being able to sleep...which won't help you fall back to sleep. And here's another sleep tip from a bestselling author: “If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying,” says Dale Carnegie. “It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.” Even if it's the middle of the night - don't just lie there. Have a glass of warm milk, or read a book in your living room. I hope these tips help a little, Sue....I know how frustrating it is to wake up and not be able to get back to sleep. I also wrote an article for Suite101, called "If You Can't Fall Asleep Fast: 78 Things to Do When You're Struggling With Insomnia" -- and I list all sorts of activities when you can't sleep, from giving yourself a pedicure to listening to talk radio. http://psychology.suite101.com/article.cfm/if_you_cant_fall_asleep_fast Also -- I've posted a bunch of great info on sleeping better and snoring less by Dr Steven Y Park. The link is just above, the article is called "Tips for Sleeping Better and Snoring Less." There might something in there that'll help you get back to sleep. http://theadventurouswriter.com/blog/quipstipsachievinggoals/health-wellness/tips-for-sleeping-better-and-snoring-less/ Good luck, and happy sleeping!
