Guilt?: Don't discount guilt as a factor but, alternatively, you may be having acid reflux with esophagitis. Try not to eat or drink anything within 3 hours of bedtime, elevated the head of your bed with bricks/blocks, and consider an OTC med like ranitidine or omeprazole. PS, ibuprofen,which you list, can make your symptoms worse.
