Yes. I was in the Foster mom program after I experienced a loss.
Also my neighbors train puppys to be service dogs. They make a commitment of 18 months. ( 1 dog at a time)
I need to get off the Seraquel , but for now it knocks me out.
My husband takes melatonin. It's over the counter.
Do you do enough physically to tire you out? Yoga, Jazzercise and swimming are my favorites. Lots of cities have an indoor pool. Or YMCA.
If you stop eating early your body doesn't need to stay awake to digest food. You can make your dinner meatless.
I don't drink coffee in the afternoon. Just hot water.
Sleep in the middle of the bed. What else...
I've always gone to bed early. Oh, orgasm helps, not at first, but shortly after.
Talk to your Pdoc. Maybe for the time being you could be prescribed something. A member on PC told me to ask for Tradnazone for sleep.
Hugs and love.
