Monday Evening Open Thread

 

I need your help, Balkers.  My one superpower, an ability to sleep at any hour, has deserted me.  I have tried hot milk and herbal tea.  I have tried soothing music, and dead silence.  I go to bed nice and early in a dark room.  I have tried reading a comforting book before bed, and I have tried turning the light out immediately upon retiring.  I have my coffee in the morning and then I avoid caffeine for the rest of the day.  I have given up my dinner-hour beer or glass of wine on the theory that alcohol disrupts my sleep patterns.  I avoid TV and other forms of screen time before bed.  But nothing works.  I just can't turn off my brain, and I'm worrying.  I'm relying on OTC sleeping pills just to get a couple of hours of unconsciousness, and I know they are not a solution.  Have you tips and tricks?  Can you recommend something?  Your mrsfinch is getting squirrelly for lack of quality sleep.  It was the one thing I was really good at, and I have been robbed of the ability.  

Let me know in the comments.  I'll be here, staring wide-eyed into the darkness.
