It's 1:17 and I've been up since 1:00 - wait, DST ended today, so it's really 2:17, or I've been up since 12:00, or something. I know damn well I've been awake longer than 17 minutes.
I've been working on sleeping better. The stress load has dramatically lessened. House sold, current place in decent shape, the only current problem is foot surgery Tuesday and I've had to take it easy (off my feet) so not much exercise.
I put an app on my phone that reminds me to go to bed at 8 and wakes me at 8 AM. That has really helped me wind down earlier in the evening. I haven't inadvertently stayed up until midnight since getting the app. It also turns the phone off, so no interruptions from it. That helps. I also take melatonin and magnesium gluconate at bedtime and I don't eat or drink anything after 6PM. It all helps, but there are still occasional nights like tonight when I got to sleep at 10 and I'm up in the middle of the night, wide awake, no idea why. And and nights like last night when I can not get to sleep. Normally I do get to sleep by 10, but last night I could not get to sleep until 1 AM.

OK, I'm just rambling here. Time to (try) to get some sleep.
Carry on.
