Really can not get more than a few minutes. I need a solution. Morning by the way.

Pray and get in Gods word.

Exercise, get your heart rate up then get comfortable for when it comes back down.

CBD products help me sleep along with a C-Pap. I still usually don't sleep as well as I would like. I think to much at night.

Waking up after 4 or 5 hours of continuous sleep is a wonderful experience. I wish it happened more often.

The shutting down thinking would be awesome!

I take it neither of you have a “Nothing Box.”

Never tried the cbd for helping me sleep but a few puffs of weed and I sleep all night. Sleep well at camp for some reason. Hardly ever sleep well on the last job I was at for 10 years up at least 4 or 5 times a night.

I recommend trying some CBD then. You can buy it at most grocery stores now, like Walmart. I would start with a small dose the first night and then raise it if you need to. I typically take 105mg. Diane takes half that. CBD can lower your blood pressure, so I would check with your doctor before using it, if you have any medical issues.

Larger doses of CBD do some odd things to my memory. I had eidetic memory when I was a small child up until I had bad smoke inhalation in my mid teens. If I take a high dose of CBD, sometimes my old photographic memories returns. I can sometimes even remember complete, several hundred page books i read when I was very young, close to 50 years ago.

Fevers sometimes give me back my photographic memories too.

I hope you can get some good rest.

Been up a couple hours now. Was supposed to go hunting today, but had to cancel. I think my internal alarm clock forgot to turn off.

Hope you get some good sleep Thomas.

I been up a lot too bud. Sorry if something is bothering you. Hard to shut down sometimes!

I take one Benadryl an hour before bed. A hour later it kicks in and it's Dreamland time.

I have found that if I don't get enough physical activity during the day I have trouble sleeping.

I have to wear myself out so I can sleep like a baby.

I know exactly what you mean. Watched it in Laughing your way to a better marriage years ago. I spend lots of time in my nothing box. My wife definitely does not understand

My daughter makes a CBD salve or lotion. Last summer she grew a couple of plants. This is legal here. Then dry and harvest the seed. Then boils the seed to extract the oil. Adds some bees wax and baby oil, Makes like a salve. Just rub on a bit across your chest or on an ache or pain, usually gone. You will sleep like a baby. I don't use it much , just if I can't sleep. old243

Thinking is bad, lol, at least when trying to sleep, a simple trick I use is slowly counting backwards from lets say 300, it's hard to think when trying to count, and backwards just makes it a bit more difficult so kinda drives other thoughts to the background...worth a shot....

Make a good ole hot toddy. Hot tea, honey and a double shot of whiskey.

sometimes writing things down will let me put them off till morning

sometimes not

way to much thought being the problem , dealing with that issue is often the only way through it.
so I guess it depends what the constant though in your head is

my last one was a bad life changing medical diagnosis , it took them getting into some treatment before I really got a decent nights sleep.
a few times I got 4-5 hours just out of exhaustion. but it was a luckily only about 8 days with the first one being maybe 2 hours of sleep although it felt like I heard every heart beat all night long.

3 mg Malathion and reading with blue shade (no blue light) on a reader 1/2 hr before bed. this helps me.

My wife says it isn’t fair that we have such a thing. lol
