I don't drink coffee or tea after 12noon. I also try not to watch too much of the news - it's usually all negative anyway. I figure it's mostly out of my hands, so I just live the best life I can. Hope you find things that work for you.LANAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946005009680968861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-67152055885538188792011-08-10T05:04:19.688-07:002011-08-10T05:04:19.688-07:00Susan,

Melatonin ...Susan,<br /> those nights are so miserable.<br /> Melatonin works for me and finally I can sleep all night. I also found having a small piece of hard cheese about an hour before bed has a nice drowsy effect. Only water after 6 pm at night too.<br />good luck and giving Bently a lil pat on the head for being such a sweet companion.<br /><br />sweet dreams~!Sonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-25925052932665547182011-08-10T04:42:53.344-07:002011-08-10T04:42:53.344-07:00No wonder poor Bentley is wanting to nap lately! ...No wonder poor Bentley is wanting to nap lately!

On my nights off, I have to take a Tylenol PM or a Flexeril ( muscle relaxant) for my back to help me stay asleep and if I am lucky, I get 5-6 hours of sleep.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />DebbieDebbie-Dabble Blog and A Debbie-Dabble Christmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393980831584145593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-91721760187998195082011-08-09T19:08:04.880-07:002011-08-09T19:08:04.880-07:00I have a hard time falling asleep.

I can be so tired and hit the pillow and wide awake.

I usually have no problem falling asleep, but I do sometimes wake up at 4:30 in the morning. Two and a half hours before I usually wake up. Then I toss and turn until it is time to get up. Sleep issues spoil your day that's for sure. Good luck tonite.From Beyond My Kitchen Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10748389222000989848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-84915376742401550352011-08-09T15:59:32.955-07:002011-08-09T15:59:32.955-07:00I tried to read something boring...it knocks me ri...I tried to read something boring...it knocks me right out!!

I know that these tough economic times are weighing on everyone but you are right in that there is nothing we can do and stress only harms our bodies. It is tough though. Glad you have our sweet Bentley to be by your side.<br />Hugs, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-69305863156814216242011-08-09T10:41:03.944-07:002011-08-09T10:41:03.944-07:00Oh Susan, I definitely feel your pain!
