A few thoughts: Hi, Sorry to hear you've been struggling with sleep. Good sleep hygiene can be a challenge with international travel. Common causes for symptoms like this are subconscious stress, alcohol use before bed, nicotine withdrawal, caffeine withdrawal, in combination with drastic time changes. Here are some tips on sleeping better while traveling http://wb.md/2ovIrfk Hope this helps.
