Glad you were able to eventually get to sleep, Artie. I was awake from like 2 to 5 this morning, which sucked. I managed to sleep from 5 to 7, when D and H got up (plus got a couple hours in earlier in the night). I pick up that home sleep study thing next week to check for apnea, but that would only explain the waking up frequently and not feeling rested in the morning--it wouldn't keep me awake (and feeling wide awake) for 3 hours, so there's clearly something else going on. And I tried assorted things last night, like have a small snack, drinking some water, doing a crossword, counting backward from 100 by 3s (I read that someplace). I didn't want to take anything because by the time I realized it was becoming an issue, it was after 3, so it would have made me groggy today.

I need to check into the pot thing--I know it's legal for medical use in my state, and I believe they decriminalized it (might still be illegal to see, but OK to possess below a certain amount), but unsure how to buy it if I don't qualify medically (some people in my neighborhood definitely smoke it, but not someone I know where I'd feel comfortable asking). I'm pretty sure I could qualify for a medical marijuana card, with both anxiety and migraines--but there are specific providers you'd have to go to in order to get qualified (like my p-doc couldn't). Maybe I'll look into that over the weekend...
