Some of their piano music is so peaceful yet interesting that I can lay awake and be happy and relaxed until sleep overtakes me.

I read that just lying in bed resting is good for the body even if you can't sleep, and ever since reading that, it has helped keep me from getting frustrated and I can even drift off again most of the time. I think the frustration used to keep me awake more than the original reason I was awake!jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-9720253026016170312017-10-04T19:22:02.699+01:002017-10-04T19:22:02.699+01:00Apart from my frequent needs for the loo (which ha...Apart from my frequent needs for the loo (which have ceased for the moment since they stuck a tube in my back to drain my right kidney) which generally means I'm just about a wake for 3 minutes, I rarely wake for any length of time. If I do I simply set my phone to play a playlist from iTunes through the speakers by my bed (some Mendelssohn or Elgar piano music is good for this purpose).

I go off to sleep very quickly but then wake up at two hourly intervals until I get up for good at around 5.15.

I don't have a partner, so I put the tv on that I have in the bedroom. The trouble is sometimes there are really good programs on and I end up really watching them, instead of trying to go back to sleep.

With a solid thud, it was a rude awakening when I realised I had no stairs or lower level! <br /><br />There are some times my mind is like a kaleidoscope hindering my ability to fall asleep. On those mostly rare occasions I bear with it, and eventually sleep comes.
