I can fall asleep, manage about 3 or 4 hours, then I wake up again. Sometimes I can falk back asleep, but most of the time I'm up for several hours until the sun starts to come up... I just can't shut my brain off in the middle of the night. Even though I know only my wife and animals are in the house with me, I tense at every noise.

I was thinking of investing in a weighted blanket. It was one of the only ways I could sleep at the hospital without then drugging me to a stupor. I just wish they were less expensive. I get that a lot of time and effort goes into making them, but it sucks to drop nearly $200 when you have very little disposable income.
