Don't you guys have nightmares about all that same shit-combined to make veritable dream monstrosities? Sometimes the thoughts and worries that fill my days bleed over into my dreams. Then, there are the days I journal or make sure I read a helpful daily thought. Doing so pushes the reset button and gives me pause to redirect. Counting sheep only worked when I was going to fall asleep easily, anyway. Counting down 100 bottles of beer on the wall worked better.
Left nostril breathing for three minutes helped. Three minutes takes forever until you learn to just do it, relax and forget about the timing.

Insomnia has been fucking killing me lately. The best thing to do is try not to think about it and sleep on it. Things always look better in the morning.

Insomnia has been fucking killing me lately. Sorry to hear that, Intro! Have you tried swapping screens for books and reading yourself to sleep? That used to work pretty well for me. So what if you fall asleep with a book on the side of your head and you bend up a few pairs of glasses. You start reading the same paragraph over and over again and not remembering what it said-you are bound to be on the verge of sleep. (You can't sit up and read. That won't work. Screens don't work. Books on screens don't work.) Did you have someone reading to you at bedtime when you were a kid? We had a pattern set up for us. I set it up for my kids. It's worth a try to see if you can add that to your nighttime routine and switch things up on the old insomnia monster. (Did you sneak and read books when you were supposed to be sleeping and feel like you were really getting away with something? I sure did! I wouldn't have been able to go to sleep if I didn't find out how Nancy Drew was going to get out of that mess she got herself into...again. Freaking cliffhanger chapter ending books...you can never read just one chapter.)

Quetiapine. Works wonders for me. I've been averaging 7 hours/night instead of 3 or 4 since June 2021 -- and 7 hours are all I need.

Good night, my Good People. (I'd say that even if I wasn't Mayor d'Back Porch.) And since I don't want to be re-elected, you must know I'm sincere. I have been so busy, I go unconscious with no problem. In fact, I yearn for bedtime.

Falling asleep isn't so much an issue as is waking up early, these days.
Good times to you, my XTC Fanfriends!
Hugs! Mare

Ok, I know this has been to short of a visit for me, but this is my Black Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday fourteen weeks that comes around each year about this time. I have to rise at Early O'Clock seven days a week so, I must bid you adieu and good rest (whether you sleep or not)-may your new day bring a bit of positivity while you listen to at least a couple songs that wake your body up! Ta for now, friends!
