All the meditation and relaxing routines I learned from my classes over the years are invaluable.   Try developing a practice, it works.

You're not going to believe this - heck, I hardly believe it!

 

Read so much about the "heavy blankets".  Finally bought one.  For me (emphasis on "For me) it has worked wonders.  The first night, slept soundly.  And the second, third and fourth nights.  Pretty much amazed.

 

It's been several weeks, and I think ONE night I didn't sleep as well - probably as comforter came delivered in the winter cover and I got hot.

 

May not work for everyone, but I'm sold and no, have no affiliation, I just chose a median priced one off the "A" place that included a "summer" and "winter" cover, as many need them purchased separately.

Re: If you have trouble sleeping

Anytime between the hours of 2:00am through 3:30am, I sit on the side of my bed in the dark and eat Bnutty Gourmet Peanut Butter right out of the jar. I know it sounds totally crazy but as soon as I finish eating it and get back into bed, I go out like a light!!! I can't really get to sleep until after my peanut butter eating ritual.
Before I started that, I was awake all night. I know it's all psychological but I figure, whatever works! Not sleeping is horrible!!😀

I have always liked a heavy comforter on me except when it's hot. I think my Mom used to pile them on when I was a kid! I have thought of getting one. I think it would help me.
