      Everyone has to find the combination of things that work for them.  Pick and choose; try a few different techniques.  I personally have had to call in Wiley Coyote on occasion...my wife has the rubber mallet in her drawer...

      I was dong some sleepwalking on the pain meds during my first 3 months.  My wife slept in another bedroom because she couldn't get any sleep with all my tossing and turning.  When she found me frying bacon at 3 am in the kitchen...asleep...she had a bolt lock put on the OUTSIDE of the master bedroom door and LOCKED ME IN every night!!!!!
