Walking up just once in the night isn't unusual. I'm new on the boards so your sleeping problems aren't something I'm familiar with. Do you wake up often? When you wake up, do you lie there and think about stuff? I come from a long line of problem sleepers and nearly every one of them, when they wake up in the night, start to dwell on things that are going on in their lives and end up wide awake (boy we sound like a fun bunch, don't we?). The trick is to train your mind to go blank.
I had a problem for a while of always needing to know what time it was. If I woke up I woke immediately look at the clock and think "oh great it's 4:00, that means I get to stay in bed for 3 more hours." Then I"d lie there for the next three hours checking the clock every ten minutes. I had to force myself not to look at the clock, and I slept better.
