You all have some good advice. As for sleep meds - I've been on them all. Ambien was the best and lastes for years - now it barely helps me sleep. So I have to take 300mg of Seroquel - the "It'll make you fat & diabetic" anti-psychotic. It puts me to sleep - but I sleep for 15-20 hours sometimes. I've got a delayed sleep phase disorder which my sleep doc said would be very difficult to treat. He suggested melatonin.
My couch is NOT very comfortable to sleep on now - since I'vebeen sleeping on it for 2 years. And I don't get a restful sleep. I just moved into a new city and anew apartment, so I was hoping to break out of sleeping on the couch and sleeping in my bedroom. Big problem is - as many of you also stated - ruminating thoughts!
Maybe I'll buy a small TV and see if that helps in my bedroom. I really wan to get back in there.
Thanks for your stories and suggestions! Keep'em coming!
Jerry
