@cotton4me I do all of these except the exercise my computer goes off at 7 we finish dinner at 6 and rarely eat large meals. I have not had a alcoholic drink in about 2 years. My cell phone is in the living room. I use a sleep mask to block out the light. Itss not falling asleep its getting back to sleep that is my issue. but thank you for the advice

From the CDC website:

Some habits that can improve your sleep health:

• Be consistent. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, including on the weekends
• Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature
• Remove electronic devices, such as TVs, computers, and smart phones, from the bedroom
• Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime
• Get some exercise. Being physically active during the day can help you fall asleep more easily at night.

You're getting 9 hours of sleep each night with the help of two drugs and getting up to go to the bathroom once.  I don't know what your expections are?

I guess you'll fall back asleep when you fall back asleep.  No sense watching the clock.  It sounds like you are getting a lot of sleep each night.

@I am still oxox   I totally understand your issue, I'm in the same boat sleep wise.  I typically wake at 1:30, 4:30 & 6:30 no mattter what I do. So people who have no issues sleeping just don't understand.

That may be related to taking Benadryl and Valium nightly.

I don't sleep well..I nap..DH isn't well..I'm afraid to sleep..my mind never stops..I may sleep 3 hrs. straight on a good night with 1 mg Xanax. That's rare.

Sleep issues seem to effect many people, myself included.

I've tried melatonin, quonol (sp?) but it didn't work.  A friend suggested a diffuser with adding some lavendar oil to relax me and since that time, it has done wonders for my sleep.

I'd give it a try.

I've tried the Melatonin too.  It didn't work at all for me either.😔
