@SquarePegGuy thanks so much for the good sleep wishes! I have to say, I slept excellent last night. Got about 7 hours in. I made it a point to charge my phone across the room, that way I had no access to it during the night. That has helped immensely! Also, I have to agree with the brushing before bed theory, any activity that gets the brain going before bed usually leaves you restless. But the act of brushing, and what's in the toothpaste can definitely wake you up more, making it hard to fall asleep. Eating before bed does the same thing to me - my body is digesting food so I can't fall asleep.

The New Moon theory is a good one too. Never thought about it contributing to a restful sleep.

@Tart Cherry Jam so glad you've been so consistent with going to bed on time! This thread has been so helpful to me for doing the same thing.
