I lay here again, unable to fall asleep. Thoughts and memories flood my brain making it close to impossible to even close my eyes. This doesn’t happen nearly as often as it used to occur. Maybe, once our new Sleep Number mattress arrives, this will happen even less than it does already.
My mind is racing fast, but it’s hard to stay focused on any one set of thoughts. How do I help myself fall asleep? All of the things I normally do have been unsuccessful. I think I’ll get up and stretch since my muscles are hurting. Even if I don’t sleep tonight, I’m trying to be grateful that this happens only a couple times a month now instead of several times a week. Improvement is a big deal.

So feel your pain, my doctor gave me something to sleep, it does pretty well! Hope you find rest soon! Thanks for sharing!

I finally fell asleep. I got about 4 hours of sleep last night, which is better than nothing.

I use trazadone that my doctor gave me. Another thing I have done is running in place then trying to sleep again.

Exercise does sound like a good plan. I think you need the right balance though, otherwise you could wake yourself more. Here’s hoping for better nights soon.
