i am just 'non-structured' the last some odd years.
i don't use sleeping pills because i take enough medicine and that would be over-kill, but i do herbal things, like valerian root, chamomile tea, passion flower tea, warm milk and honey, or really fresh sleep-inducing herbal tea blends made by some serious tea masters i get from a certain herbal health shop.
most nights, when i have to go to bed earlier because of appointments the next morning, i take that hot mineral bath, spray bulgarian lavender lightly on linens, or on a kleenex tucked into a pillow or pj pocket, and with something positive and informative to read and my cup of tea, i will be turning out the light in a peaceful state within an hour.
(oh, and i don't take late night calls... and lately i just chat here if i want to clear my head some nights or feel lonesome- there are some pretty cool people around at night to share your thoughts with)
popping in a good movie, or catching something on cable usually makes late night relaxing, when most of the neighborhood is already asleep ... and sitting out back, checking out the stars is cool sometimes when it's pretty dark around here - and clear.
that's all good - if i'm not having anxiety attacks, sick, or fighting one of depressions features, lol.
i'm glad i'm a nightbird, it's how i got to meet all of you wonderful people.
peace and sweet dreams,
nightbird
