What do you do

Take my word for it...counting sheep doesn't work! 😂 I have a habit of most nights waking up around 3 or 4.

Sometimes I put on soft classical or calming music and then fall asleep again in about ten minutes or so. Other times I get up and walk around the house, check on my son, have a drink of water then go to sit outside for a bit. Sometimes I fall asleep right after returning to bed, other times I just listen to the music until it's time to get up.

Winter times a nice hot cup of Rooibos- or Chamomile tea helps to fall asleep again too.

I lie awake reading posts on here… or I read a fictional story… or I contemplate my choices in life… I think the hardest thing for me to do is to let go of people who are great but don’t treat me with love that I long for. And I blame my father for that. He’s a self centered manipulator that will never change. I gave him so many chances to be a better person growing up that now in my adult life I give people many chances to be better. I eventually cut myself off from my father bc he became unbearable. But— I wish I had the courage to do the same to ppl in my adult life. The risk of being too lonely seems tragic…

Maybe it’s best we put a pot of camomile tea on the stove and listen to the white noise of a fan till we drift to sleep again 😴💤

It happens to me.Sometimes I watch TV hang out smoke a few cigarettes.Or whatever the fuck i'm going to do or play on my phone and go back to sleep
