@ECBG YES! For me, it's about 3:45 or 4:15. I try different books and different sleeping positions for about an hour and a half, and then I just give up.

@ECBG That's sure the truth. One night I woke up in the middle of the night trying to remember the name of my second grade teacher.

@Leggett28

Mine was a precious nun that was very young. One day she pulled up her skirts and jumped rope with us. I've never forgotten it, and I was seven.

I hope she had a good life. She was lovely.

I ended up working for the Sisters Of Mercy in another location when DH and I were first married until I got into the school system.

@ECBG O.M.G- so very true!! I have tried knocking myself out with melatonin, magnesium, potassium, lemon balm, ashwagandha, benadryl, hot milk, a shot of brandy and about a 1000 other things. Ann Landers long ago wrote a wonderful book on insomnia that really helped me at the time. I wish I could remember the name of it, and more importantly the method she recommended. It had something to do with accepting that for those of us who have a battle with sleep, we need to recognize that eventually, sleep wins.

I found these.

@ECBG Oh, that is so nice of you to post those photos of Ann Lander's books.!! Thank you. For some reason the book I am thinking of was devoted entirely to the subject of insomnia. The copy I had was a small, thin paperback. You've given me the incentive to go searching. Thanks again!!

My alarm goes off at 3:00am, so no, my brain says something else....like....didn't I just go to bed?

Ann Landers fan here! I actually got to meet her and get an autograph when she was a guest speaker at an event my hubby and I attended years ago.

Rare for me. I'm usually a good sound sleeper.

I also don't have to set an alarm. I wake up at 5:00 am.

Sleep issues are just horrible. Mine are exacerbated by the time change and all of the stress we are having right now.

Some other issues too. Hope we can all find a remedy that will help us sleep......🙏🙏🤞🤞

@PA Mom-mom Same for me! E-V-E-R-Y night at 4:15 a.m.-ish I wake up. WHY?!?! I have tried going to bed earlier, later, and everything else you can think of. Nothing works. So I toss and turn for another hour and a half until the alarm goes off. So frustrating!
