Let's talk about sleep. How have you been sleeping recently?

Getting enough sleep has been tough in recent weeks. I recall two nights in a row, when I went to bathroom at 2 AM, didn't get back to sleep, got up at 3:30 & 3:34 AM. I warmed up some cows' milk in microwave oven & ate peanuts, hoping the extra triptophan amino acid would quickly be converted into that brain chemical that helps humans sleep. I got back to sleep. Most times when I've lain down during daylight I can't get to sleep. Some nights, I Iie on the bed about 8 PM, with radio on or off.
