Hang in there Ambivalent, hopefully it goes smoothly for you and is over soon. I don't think there is such a thing as a cheap divorce is there? We all pay for it one way or another frown Is your sleep issue (lack of sleep I should say) stress related? I'm sure you've tried just about everything at this point - I watch the same movie every night or one of about 5 that I know backwards and forwards and it puts me to sleep every time. Meditation helps, journaling, deep breathing exercises, no coffee or sugar after 7, plenty of exercise during the day. Maybe a hot bath or some aromatherapy before bed. Do you have a sound machine? I use white noise to block out any other noises and black out drapes even though it's night time. I usually wake up around 3am most nights but fall back to sleep pretty quickly. Good luck to you - having the D finalized may be just what you need for sleeping!
