Fern, I do believe reaching a state of relaxation (and alternate states/brain waves) can be very helpful in both managing pain (to some degree, and I will take any relief I can get) and in increasing the potential for possibly getting some additional sleep.

I have ordered a product with ingredients much like the tinctures an herbalist used to make for me. She'd made different strengths. I would use a less potent mix during the daytime and a highly potent mix at night. If I was getting hypomanic, I would use the night-time tincture during the day. Sadly, she has passed on. I have not found an herbalist so talented since.

This product has the same ingredients she had used in the tinctures she had made for me.
This is a transdermal patch and is time released so there is less likely to be a "hangover" in the morning.

This is called:Klova - Topical Sleep ZPatch. Naturally a Better Night's Sleep. I intend to try this over the weekend.
I will follow-up , sharing my experience.
I hope everyone has a healthy weekend!
I have my fingers and my toes crossed for you that the patch works! I'm sorry you lost your trusted provider. That is always hard. It is great that you were able to pick up some knowledge while you worked together.
