You say your sleep is suffering but what exactly do you mean by that?

Just that you have a hard time falling asleep?
When you do fall asleep, are you just sleeping less but with no ill effects during the day? Or is it affecting your daytime patterns/etc as well? Are you more irritable, etc.
Is your sleep itself less effective/lower quality?- i.e. you sleep but you toss and turn and/or don't feel well rested when you wake.

If it's just that you're sleeping less hours and taking longer to get to sleep, but nothing else- frankly I wouldn't worry about it. That's just me though.

I've always been one that has to lay in bed for a good half hour or so at least before being able to fall asleep. Always been that way. I have to be really tired- like falling asleep on my feet- in order for me to fall asleep within minutes of laying down. That happens maybe twice a year. My husband's head hits the pillow and he's snoring within 5 minutes. I envy the bastard!

My sleep became easier as I lost weight. It was better quality sleep and I snored somewhat less.

Anymore, being down to 222lbs, I'm finding myself having a hard time falling asleep. Mostly because I'm too damn hyperactive and energetic. Seems the less I weigh, the higher my metabolism. =/

Start at a low dose (i think 1mg is the lowest you can get) and work up. Dont do what i did and accidentally start at 10mg, because your body will get used to it and make the lower doses not work for you.

When I was working out regularly, my sleep was great. It seemed much easier to maintain circadian rhythm for some reason. I got tired around 10pm and woke up feeling great in the morning.

Why the hell did I stop anyway?

It will depend on what the store has for sale.
