How do I fall asleep and stay asleep?

hi everyone,

how do I fall asleep and stay asleep as I have lost count of how many times I wake up in the night either to go to the loo or have a drink and then be unable to fall asleep again.

I have a similar problem I fall asleep but not for long then I'm wide awake but exhausted. I've been up since 3am because I couldn't sleep so I went down stairs and wrapped some presents. Now I feel so exhausted I feel really unwell .

myself and my fiance went to bed at about 11pm last night, but then we woke up at around 3am as we couldn't sleep and we both ended up having a nap this afternoon as we were tired.

Maybe try a nice hotchoc at bedtime. Try and get to bed before 11am cuz thats when our bodies naturally prepare for sleep. No tea or coffee or computers. Sex n cuddles. I read somewhere that if u keep getting up at night for the loo go to docs n get tested for diabetes 2. Good luck😊
