(let me clarify) I’m visiting family and having an even harder time getting to sleep than usual. It’s quiet and the bed is perfectly comfortable. And yet…
I don't like visiting people. Strange bed, my usual things not around me, all that awkwardness in the morning when you wake up first and think "do I get up? Do I wait til others are up? Am I going to get breakfast in bed???;!" 😱😱😆
@bijouxbroussard I'm not sure about that, but I do seem to fall asleep quicker than most and when I need to without problem. There are exceptions. There are times when I can't turn off my head. But most of the time when I lay down and close my eyes ... 😴😴😴
@bijouxbroussard In my place even if I can't sleep I can play the stereo,shower read,EAT..no complaints🤣 and my back and my lumpy mattress have come to an understanding...
@bookerdana Exactly right. When I have insomnia at home, I get a drink and watch tv. One of my sisters is an alcoholic, so [b]no[/b] booze is allowed here.
@bijouxbroussard sneak some in? J/K....Many things I thought about adulthood were "less true",Sure I can stay up all night,but work still beckons,I can eat cake and ice cream,without restriction but no joy there either,but having your own place is priceless🖤
We would sing And dance around Because we know We can't be found😛
You know what I still occasionally enjoy..listening to the tv in another room in bed..everything sounds so interesting

For me it would be the stranger beside in the bed 😳.
It’s a strange environment. Your room at home has all the stuff you like just the way you want it. You have a certain routine there. You have none of that at a hotel or friend’s house.
As far as sleeping while away...
You live in California, why not bring some edibles while away?
@sciguy18 You know, I did this time. I was hesitant to take one only a few hours before time to get up. Those can put me out for the entire night—which is usually great.
@bijouxbroussard Mr. King was [u]exactly[/u] the author I thought of when I posted my reply. He's a commercial writer, he writes books that are supposed to sell, the more the better. Boredom guaranteed! Good night.
