I have a sleep routine plus meds. I take my meds just before beds, climb in and read a cozy for about 30 minutes then it’s lights out. But still I have to empty my mind. Null set, nothingness. If I don’t do that I’ll be awake thinking of this or that.

Sometimes despite everything I can’t sleep, I get up and move to the recliner and turn tv to a mindless show, hopefully if I can, cartoons. The loony tunes are best. Within 30 mij I’m ready for bed again.
