Also the latest I now take my magnesium supplements is around dinner time say between 6.00pm and 7.00pm. These small steps have assisted me in my daily struggle to get out of bed on workdays.

Bluedog, have you tried Xanax? It has a shorter half-life (7-8 hours) than other benzos and doesn't leave you with grogginess in the morning. (At least that's my experience.)DID YOU ASK YOGA GIRL OUT YET??? (See, we'll keep pestering you until you confess. :-) )
