Yes, in another way

I'm not getting more sleep every night, or even most nights but overall there are more nights when I have been able to improve my hours enough to make a difference. This gives me hope that I can extend the trend!

Once I'm alone in my study after my husband has gone to bed, it's too easy for me to fall asleep on the sofa or even at my desk. If it's on the sofa, I'll sleep pretty soundly for a couple of hours or so but then I'm wide awake. This is why I have to stick to a definite bedtime.

Yes. I try to set in my own mind by mid-day every day the time when I will get to bed. That doesn't always work, especially if I have a client that calls me in the afternoon with some new matter. But it is the change that has had some success. I have set a definite wake-up time for every day including weekends and holidays, and have been working on a mantra to say every morning when I wake up that will actually get me out of bed faster.
