To sleep, perchance to d ream

Who has the answer to getting a nights sleep? It's getting worse. To sleep at 9:30..awake at 2 and can't fall back to sleep. tried yoga breathing, reading, solitaire (one of my not so secret addictions..computer Spider) and here I am at 5 pestering you good folks.

Too much running through my mind so I have to get serious about list making and getting things done. Tonight it is pending visit from kids, changing my will, breaking the sugar addiction ( I have many addictioins!) again, reorganizing parlor at church....today is clean up day... saving enough energy for grocery shopping, pending trip to General Synod...isn't this pathetic?

And then I realized I have not started ethical will which is what prompted this blog in the first place.

Back to the beginning...who has the secret to sleeping through the night? Handsome reward for the one who forwards the solution( and lets be realistic..I am divorced, 65 and have Parkinson's...nothing too far out, please).

I HATE it when I can't fall asleep. Usually it's because I can't get my brain to shut off (sometime it is related to some sort of grad-school anxiety, sometimes not) and I just ruminate and ruminate. The National Sleep Foundation has a list of 10 helpful sleep hygiene tips which I sometimes follow when I can't sleep(the doctor doesn't always follow her own advice). I understand your frustration!

I always, always, alwasy take a shower or bath before bed. if I don't - I can't sleep. Of course I haven't been getting much sleep this past week, but as tired as I have been - I still fit in a relaxing shower before bed.
