Your Rx for a good night's sleep?

[ Edited ]

I recently made a purchase which has improved

my ability to enjoy a full night's sleep.  I bought

a cooling pillow pad from Amazon.  The gel inside

the pad provides a cool, comfortable surface for

my head.  A few times a night it must be rearranged

because my body heat warms the gel, but that is a

minor inconvenience as far as I am concerned.

The pillow mat sounds like a great idea @mollybgood, and @SilleeMee! It keeps you cool all night? I did read on Amazon where it can be put in refrigerator. Is that something you would recommend? Thanks.

This mat is long enough that it covers the full length of a standard-size pillow so when your head is on one side, the other side is cool and you can just slide over to the cool side. I've never put mine in the frig but I bet that would be the ultimate chill on hot nights. @DukeBlueNan

I bought one of those cool pillows a few years ago but it's too firm for me to sleep with so I use it on the couch. 

 

My rx for a good nights sleep is to not stay up late texting with my BFF.

Cross my fingers and hope to sleep. 

My nights are short and my flashes deep. 

Pillow and blankie hold me tight,

and pray that I can make a whole night.

 

The bathroom call, but I ignore ...

until I can sleep... nevermore.

I felt one of those pillows in Bed Bath and Beyond, I liked it.

 

I don't sleep well. For me what makes a difference is a good long walk, staying away from computer and phone screens several hours before bedtime. Sometimes I have to take an otc something.
