Anyone Else?

I take amitriptyline and sleep great now also, but no it didn't do anything to change the fact that I gravitate towards staying up longer and longer, part of that is my choice.

Yes, and I have stayed up all night and forced myself to stay awake all day and in bed by 10 pm. Winthin a couple days, up half the night again??? I thought it was my age though (menopause).

I've had this problem since...well, actually forever. For me it has a lot to do with stability, I have like none in my life. I'm always moving or theres usually always some kind of drama or tragedy happening. Sometimes it helps to meditate or read a book, and keeping a journal is very helpful, it provides an escape for my thoughts. If ur sleep patterns are off it could be ur thoughts are racing, so keeping a journal should help. Also keeping an orderly room, free of clutter makes it easier for some people to relax(helps me). Regular excersice is also important, sometimes it helps me to stretch before i go to bed. Another trick I use is to go into another room, perhaps the living room and try sleeping there, a change of venue sometimes puts me at ease. I hope one of these things helps you.

Hypervigilance is constant for me, but definitely gets more intense at night. I try to avoid being startled at all costs, because I'm thrown into a flashback when it happens.
