So are you going out today to find a stranger that believes no job is too small? You’ll give him your number and he will call you each night to sing you to sleep. If he asks for request I suggest some Boyz II Men or Michael Bolton.
Turning the brain off is the hardest. Sometimes when it is just a regular bad night I will turn around and sleep in the opposite direction. So head at the bottom of the bed. Not full proof but works over half the time.🤷♀️ I’ve actually met someone else who does this too, lol.
I’ve tried that, and it does work sometimes. This week has been filled with a lot of really bad news for family, add in the news of the latest tragedies and the horrible actions of my government, and at this point, I might not say no to someone hitting me over the head with a brick to turn off my head.
That is hard and an insomnia of a different kind. It is so personal to the individual. My only tip, that you probably know, is to sleep when you can. So if your body and brain finally say “enough” even if it is noon, if your schedule allows. Just something that helped when I was going through stress, because that tired brain makes it so much harder.
@egads I’m so sorry for all the pain you are feeling. I too have been struggling with the news et al, the only thing I’ve found to help me fall asleep is thankfully, 1 beer – and I’m out!
Last night I had to watch some Seungjae videos from The Return of Superman – he always makes me smile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnZbdTiINfk&list=PLMf7VY8La5RFuxrXh1ON_O_9cqZw1-_O_&index=109&t=0s

Accurate depiction of sleepless me glaring at the world this week. I guess this is my submission for the Theme of the Month.

LOL, no. I’ll stick to my usual of turning on a stupid, and hopefully, boring drama to try to lull my brain to turn off and go to sleep
