I think three days in bed would do a lot of people a world of good.

In my case, I haven't had a single decent night's sleep since my stroke, 5-1/2 years ago.

...Where did you say this sidewalk was?

Hi @scottrl, the sidewalk was on our street, just a few houses down. I went to look at it after to see if the crack was elevated and I should put a request for repair into Public Works, but there is some grass growing in the crack, where his cane tip got stuck, so I'll start putting salt water and vinegar on the grass to kill it.

Lack of sleep can be debilitating. The more we consciously pursue good sleep, the more it eludes us. I try to calm my brain with 4-7-8 breathing ( gently breathe in for a count of 4, hold for count of 7, gently expel for count of 8). It's supposed to help sleep. Also, I read that just lying still in bed vs. getting up has restorative benefits. That's challenging, but I try to do it.

Take care.
