Every morning I wake up at about 7:30 to see what time it is. If I am still sleepy I go back to sleep. During the week the dog is in bed with me after David leaves for work. He will keep an eye on me and come for a belly rub when he sees I am awake. Most of the time he waits patiently but if he has to go out real bad he will rest his head on me and try to wake me that way. Most days I am up and out of bed by about 8:15. Today I fell back asleep and it was 9:15. I don’t sleep well because of chronic pain and although I am on various meds it doesn’t help.
I go to bed most nights between 10 and 11. I used to go into bed and play a few games on my phone but I switched to a coloring app that is more “zen” and relaxing. It actually is. Sometimes David will have the television on but if I am tired I can sleep regardless. I don’t sleep through the night anymore.
I guess that is sort of a routine…

My kids usually wake me up earlier than I’d prefer. I wish I had their energy! And I stay up far too late many nights, because that’s my time to “relax”. I spend it writing and reading.❤️

When my kids were little I worked nights bartending so I used to have them come in bed with me when they woke up and watch tv so I could sleep.

It is kind of like mine! I don’t sleep well either. Insomnia sucks!

David and I found this Spotify channel called Binaural Beats for Deeper sleep and it is awesome! It does help a bit. My friend has insomnia and she found a series on Netflix for mindful meditation and for sleep. That is free if you have Netflix. She also pays for an app that she listens to every night. It is $60 a year. I’ll find out the name. But it has all these meditations and there is one that she listens to call an SOS meditation for if you wake up in the night and can’t fall asleep. She said this is the first time she has slept in years.

The app is Headspace. If you think you might want to try it I think she can send anyone a 30 day trial pass. Not sure if that is only US or not though so we’d have to check.
