I have not. I've been working for 20 years and I still need the weekends to catch up on sleep. I'll try to get to bed on time (10p) but sometimes (at least once a week) I just can't sleep, or dread work, or whatever. I'll be tired all day, then when it comes time to go to sleep again, I'll be wide awake.

On the problematic nights, try melatonin pills. It's over-the-counter, seems side-effect free as far as I can tell, and will put you out within an hour.

I've tried those and Tylenol PMs too. I took PMs for years (and still do) just to get to sleep for work.
