Luckily I am not plagued by night sweats. I get one occasionally. However I do go through stages when my sleep is appalling & then other times it is totally fine.
I always have a bath before bedtime & watch some TV or read & find that this helps as I start to drop off.
At times I am really exhausted when I go to bed & get off to sleep quickly. I then wake up about an hour later & toss & turn for the next couple of hours.
When I came back from Hawaii it was dreadful due to the 10 hour time change & I have to confess that I did resort to 3.5 of Zopiclone for 5 nights to restore my sleep pattern. hate taking it because I get a dreadful taste all day in the mouth the following day but I was getting a bit desperate

I am surprised at the advice about exercise but maybe I am just a bit weird (okay, so that's a given ;D). I exercise for an hour (at least) on a three evenings on, one off basis. On the nights I exercise I jump into the shower and then into bed and am more often or not asleep as soon as I snuggle down intending to read or listen to music. On the nights I don't do that, I struggle to get to sleep.

Hi Ladies ;D
H2T you and Claire in snowy Canada put us all to shame with your exercising. Try as I might I still cannot get used to this treadmill I have it is too much like hard work, I wish it had a motor on it!
On the subject of *nutty* things on labels, we once had a packet of pork chops which read: "suitable For vegetarians"! :o LOL Straight up, honestly, really made me laugh anyway. ;D
Lots of Love Pops xxx ;D ;D ;D
