Good spy novels, or historical non-fiction. Trouble is I get sleepy, wind up reading slowly, need to backtrack the next time I pick up the book, but I do sleep better when knocking off the internet early and reading for half an hour or so.

After dinner. Helps/ed a lot with idle night time.

I havent found my 100% point yet,, but Im trying,,

Good for you! You keep trying and experimenting to find what can work for you. I admire you looking inward to try and understand your motivations. Self reflection is super hard and only the brave even try!

Keep it up!!

Best of luck too.

Not an AA person.

im like you, not very big on AA.

It stands for Self Management And Recovery Training. There are groups all over the country. It's late, but tomorrow I'll post a link or links for more info. Or you can do a search yourself. I really enjoy the group. I especially like the fact that it's not God and religious based.

I've been doing SMART recovery for a year and a half.

Mostly “Star Trek” series and a little “Babylon 5” - shows we know backwards and forwards. They allow us to be pleasantly bored and in that mode it’s easier to fall asleep.

I haven’t slept well in years. Working the really odd hours of morning drive kinda killed whatever ability I’d had. And then came motherhood, and I just gave up. Would never get a full 8-hours again. By now they’re at or near 30 and haven’t lived with us for years, and I STILL worry!

and don't forget, bif, someone is ALWAYS here on DU - you can ramble on DU anytime

here to listen and ramble.
