Yeah, sleep is so complicated. I'm tired and my eyes want to close but like you, I go to bed and I'm wide awake. I use bed for nothing but sleep, rest and reading, but despite that I often see it as a torturous chamber. Back when I was on all the pain meds plus Ambien I did sleep when I went to bed but woke up often in pain. At least now the pain is more tolerable than it was back then.
