One of the reasons I get up too many times at night and thus drive my lovers batty is that if I've had any coffee, tea, alcohol, food, or drank too much water, well then, I often have to . . . . go too many times. How I envy normal people who just lay down and boom, they're out, and know no discomfort for eight hours. If only they knew. The only partial solution seems to be to not partake of anything caffeinated or alcohol related, but then that too destroys one's social life. So it seems to be a choice of being no fun or being sleep deprived. Can't seem to pick one or the other, then just muddling through.
