I feel so silly giving you suggestions, you are obviously already so on top of your game, and here I am giving you lists of things to do that you're already doing. I feel silly.
I am sorry to hear about the light sleeping and tossing and turning!! I am using valerian too, not all the time, but sometimes when I can feel the sleeplessness coming on. Do you have a Hot Yoga studio in your area? One of my closest friends had major sleep problems and as soon as she started doing Hot Yoga she started sleeping like a log. Especially Bikram studios usually have some kind of deal where your first month is only $40 or something ridiculously cheap like that.
Honestly the biggest thing for me was getting out of bed when I can't sleep and doing something else. then usually I can fall asleep after reading for 1/2 an hour. Otherwise I would just lay in bed for hours anxiously thinking. and we all know that is No Fun!!!

LOL! Some other things must be allowed? Surely?! ;\)
OMG! I sound like such a friggin puritan!!! Geez, of course, other activities are allowed, especially where lonely beavers are involved.... and EVEN MORE SO, beavers who are entertaining snakes!! ;-)
