The same thing used to happen to me also. I did exactly what you did...took a few deep breaths. Try elevating your head a little more when you go to bed. Our hormones become so messed up, you don't know if you're doing the right things or not. Soy was not beneficial for me. Matter of fact, it made me feel worse.

Important thing is...don't be afraid. It may take you an hour to finally get to sleep, but at least you're sleeping.

Make sure to get some exercise every day. It helps in so many ways. Just taking a walk is great. Eat well...cool it on the carbs. Spikes your sugar levels too much. And remember, you are not alone and it does get better.

A few weeks ago I decided to look at controllable physical reasons, and I cut out all caffine and spicy foods after 1 p.m., and now make sure I don't eat a heavy meal after 6.

Then, I looked at possible external reasons and decided to stop watching TV in my bedroom, and I started playing relaxation CD's at night at a very low volume (downloaded to itunes and played continuously throughout the night on my computer). I find that I don't toss and turn all night like I used to, and the music helps me drift off very quickly. I think the ocean sounds and the sound of rain and soft music help me fall asleep more quickly and keep me from waking up. I feel much more refreshed in the morning than I have in years. Just a thought. Hope this helps. Good luck. This is very frustrating, Isn't it?
