I listen to an audiobook when I get into bed .....and set the timer to turn it off after 30 minutes .....which seems to work quite well.....my trouble isn’t getting to sleep , it’s staying asleep .

I tend to go on candy crush..it's not usually that long before my lids start to droop ....or I'll listen to some music, which does the trick until I turn my head and the earphones dig in ...

Yes , that’s the problem .. I used to wear Apple earbuds in bed when my husband was alive , so as not to wake him ......and it took me nearly a month after he died to realise I didn’t need to do that anymore.

I sometimes do some knitting or crochet once I'm in bed, knocks you out like a charm!

...it does take some getting used to.

I'm the same as you with the being able to stay asleep......making up for it in the day though with several nanny naps (without the exertion of my Grandaughter)

We are a select, but dedicated bunch Jewel  .Seriously , we tend to be in the various  tv programme threads in the evening .

Jewels, if a thread title has a grey bell against it, that means there are new posts in it since you last visited that thread. If there is no grey bell but you want to get into it just click on (more)
