The New York Times and I are in perfect sync! I'm sleeping really badly lately and I know my sleep hygiene is not good, I'm reading too late, I'm playing my stupid game. But my new bad issue is that I finally fall asleep, and then I'm wide awake 2 hours later. That's new and not good at all.
So I just saw this article in the NYT on I can't Sleep. Now What?, which recommends 13 tips, all from experts. I like the idea of flexing my toes. Deep breathing never really works for me. I feel someone else is controlling my breath and my agitation increases rather than decreases. And listening to boring books/music - that really does work. So I'm off to practice some new tips and hopefully will start sleeping through the night again.
Funny how something you used to do effortlessly is now hard and requires thought and action!
