I am not sure if you know, but sleep aids of any kind cause C (they put your bowels to sleep too). Trying to get up everyday at the same time, not napping and going to bed at a reasonable and regular time will help. I have found "Sleepytime" tea to make me relaxed enough to let my mind shut down without causing C. I thought it did once but the C was from something else. Also a hot bath before bed helps. Try anything and everything to get your mind relaxed and hopefully you can get rid of the sleeping pill addiction (which is what really happens.)
As for sugar, I eat sugar and I sleep well. But then kids sleep so good too (once you make them go to bed.) Yet as Linz says you don't have to have sugar.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
