Take my hand dear ultralite(001)

Now close your eyes and sleep tight

I'll be here just for you (alone) tonight

When next you wake all will be alright

Remember...there's no crying in baseball

There is no crying in baseball…

But what about one’s slumber???

Thanks for lending a hand…

And, of course, you have us to talk to, always.

Will give it a try…

Yer a peach…

I’ll dig out my Sleepphones…

I’ve read through the news + am steeping some tea… will give this a try…

Brahams results in nearly instant deep sleep for me. Lol

Good luck!

BBC World Service* puts me to sleep. I'm sure it's the voices of the announcers. They're so understated. Very British.

Whatever the reason, it works for me.

The piano keeps me awake. Too many bad piano lessons memories of doing Hannon over and over and over and over... For me it's the stuff of nightmares.

I also have a sound machine. Princess Floof falls asleep to the bird song setting. But when the wrens hit the windowsill every morning, it's all hands on deck. 😄

Awwwee little Princess Floof in her cute little jammies...

Her koala bear premie size onesie with a sweater over it. She's so excited for that onesie she even lets me snap it on. It's a real onesie, and I only do the side snaps so her tail can go through the middle. She thinks that she is really special and she is absolutely correct in her assumptions.

Love you, SL. Thank you for your reply. ❤️

It is to laugh...

Why didn't I think of listening to BBC??? I did stop myself from turning on the TV...
I would have been up all night...

Just read this on Bluesky and then your post. Sleep well. Sometimes box breathing works. Breathe in for 4 slow counts, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4.
Or the 4 6 7 breathing in for 4. Hold for 6. Exhale for 7.

I cried today.

Not because I’m weak.

Not because I can’t handle it.

But because no human being was meant to live through years of war and remain untouched.

Sometimes tears are not a sign of weakness.

They are proof that your heart is still alive.

I've no doubt my brain was processing deep thoughts beyond my ken...
I did breathing... I did gratitude... I drank warm tea... I straightened all
the wrinkles from the sheets... I wrapped up my head in my Sleepphones...
At some point, I fell asleep... Woke up 6 hours later...

Feeling surprisingly well, all things considered...

Have a lovely day... Thanks for chiming in...

It's been working for me mixing a small amount with other beverages (no alcohol). Unfortunately, I'm about out.


I'm going to purchase some glass decanters or pitchers for the next event.

And still can only sleep 4 hours. Insomnia has ruined my life in many ways.

I am in the same boat. I'm lucky if I get five hours. I'm going to ask my doctor for something to help me sleep. I'm getting really cranky between that and hot flashes and pain.

Stay encouraged, BigmanPigman.

I embraced zolipidem as a panacea when it came to market branded as Ambein, particularly as a tool to deal with jet lag when I was a road warrior with lots of trips to Europe.

I still take it occasionally, but I've handed control of the bottle to my wife. In my hands it was habit forming, and often led to confusion whereupon I would take a second pill not remembering I'd already taken one earlier. This was very problematic.

I know when the OTC stuff will fail to work, and if it's before or around midnight I will graduate to zolipidem, kept in a container that I will leave empty on the counter to clue me in that I've taken this last resort. Otherwise I'll accept that I'm not going to sleep and will work or read.

I guess if you take it every night you can handle it better than I do, but I am posting for anyone unfamiliar with the stuff so as to make them aware that some people can have problems with this drug. It is not a panacea for insomnia.

He's bought things off the TV late at night and did not realize it till it showed up at his door.

He once woke up eating dried mushrooms and had very long pleasant day.

You have to be careful with that stuff.

Do you remember when Roseanne made a racist comment and blamed it on Ambien and said she didn't remember saying anything like that? It's why they took her off her on show. The Ambien manufacturers were funny with their reply..they said that Ambien does have the side effect of forgetting stuff but it doesn't have a side effect of making you racist.

The first time I took it I made and ate and cleaned up a whole dinner at 1AM and didn't remember any of it. That's when I decided to take 1/2 at a time (1/2 at bedtime and 1/2 when I wake up 4 hours later, sometimes that works) and I ALWAYS write down how much I take and at what time.

Being unable to sleep is 💔💔💔

When I went through a long spell of insomnia,
I must have read a library of books... but I did
master Sodoku... 🤣🤣🤣

May you rest peacefully + may the spell soon be broken.
Cheers!!!

Y'all are a bright spot in a dark + disturbing world...

You make me laugh --

+ cry... (in a good way)...

You inspire --

+ infuriate (in a good way)...

We are better together...

+ I

❤️❤️❤️

you...

Sometimes being overheated brings on nightmares. Thankfully, I hardly ever remember the nightmares.

I wish a sound nights sleep for you, ultralite001.

I remembered to turn on the ceiling fan... + the hum of the air cleaner
was a comfort...

Have a lovely day, Niagara... Tonight, we sleep... perchance to dream...

That wonderful composition nearly always led to sleep, for me if not my granddaughter, back in the day.

I did serenade myself w/ a number of show tunes...
🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

You could have a $$$-making idea here...

Float my boat…

But, frankly, it never seemed to come out the same way twice. That wonderfully word-tangled tale. And there's no way to provide the mind-boggling guitar backdrop when singing it solo.

I surely miss singing around a campfire...

Woodsmoke in one's hair -- it should be a bottle fragrance...

One of things I miss about my dear departed... a sweet memory...
