@MuddyBoots:

Yeah, i get that meds can be helpful in emergencies. But i'm home safe now, behind a locked door, snuggling my sweet fluffy dog -- i just feel my sleep will shake out soon with sensory-deprivation, that is, staying home, restricting light after 5:00pm, and enjoying silence.

@Brentus:

Good to hear from you, it's been too long! Thanks for the kind words of support, compassion, and understanding. Thanks for chiming in, especially for me. I know you're not a frequent poster, and i appreciate the extra effort you took for me. Don't be a stranger! Always looooooooooove to hear from you!
