I suppose the thing to do is not take any sleep aids for a week and see how it goes. I'm sure I've built up a tolerance to all 3 "remedies."

I have a cat tree with a round place at the top for a cat to curl up, it's in my front window. There are 2 little girls who live a few doors down and when one of the cats is in the tower the girls stop and say "Hi, kitty!" It's so cute

OMG, it will be 91 degrees today. Fans for sure, a/c possibly. Blah.

Swimming pools all around!

Could you try reading in bed? It is enough activity for being awake but tends to make me tired or just plain tired of reading so that I can fall asleep more easily.
