Take my hand dear ultralite(001)

Now close your eyes and sleep tight

I'll be here just for you (alone) tonight

When next you wake all will be alright

Remember...there's no crying in baseball

There is no crying in baseball…

But what about one’s slumber???

Thanks for lending a hand…

And, of course, you have us to talk to, always.

Will give it a try…

Yer a peach…

I’ll dig out my Sleepphones…

I’ve read through the news + am steeping some tea… will give this a try…

Brahams results in nearly instant deep sleep for me. Lol

Good luck!

BBC World Service* puts me to sleep. I'm sure it's the voices of the announcers. They're so understated. Very British.

Whatever the reason, it works for me.

The piano keeps me awake. Too many bad piano lessons memories of doing Hannon over and over and over and over... For me it's the stuff of nightmares.

I also have a sound machine. Princess Floof falls asleep to the bird song setting. But when the wrens hit the windowsill every morning, it's all hands on deck. 😄

Awwwee little Princess Floof in her cute little jammies...

Her koala bear premie size onesie with a sweater over it. She's so excited for that onesie she even lets me snap it on. It's a real onesie, and I only do the side snaps so her tail can go through the middle. She thinks that she is really special and she is absolutely correct in her assumptions.

Love you, SL. Thank you for your reply. ❤️

Just read this on Bluesky and then your post. Sleep well. Sometimes box breathing works. Breathe in for 4 slow counts, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4.
Or the 4 6 7 breathing in for 4. Hold for 6. Exhale for 7.

I cried today.

Not because I’m weak.

Not because I can’t handle it.

But because no human being was meant to live through years of war and remain untouched.

Sometimes tears are not a sign of weakness.

They are proof that your heart is still alive.

And still can only sleep 4 hours. Insomnia has ruined my life in many ways.

I am in the same boat. I'm lucky if I get five hours. I'm going to ask my doctor for something to help me sleep. I'm getting really cranky between that and hot flashes and pain.

Stay encouraged, BigmanPigman.
