Seems I have the same problem. Falling asleep at 8 in front of the TV, wide awake at 1:30 AM.
I decided that the best thing to do is 'deal' with it. If this is the new norm, then it's the new norm.
If I lay in bed awake for more than an hour, I get up and do email, surf the web and go on with my day as if nothing has happened. Actually kinda nice brewing a pot of coffee at 4, going outside and enjoying the "peacefulness".
If i do that I usually get a full night's sleep the next night.
I also found out that if I exert myself with physical labor/exercise, I get tired enough that I have a good night's sleep, yet I'm still awake at 10Pm for some reason.
It's harder in the Winter. If you wake up at 5 AM, you've still got a good 2+ hours before the sun comes up...and that s**ks. Cold and dark, phooey!
Whatever the cause, just figure it's the new "norm" and find a way to fit into it. that's my story and I'm stickin with it, LOL!
PS : WE NEED a laughy face, Dang it!
