Immediately after being diagnosed with very high risk PCa as well as during the months following a protracted period of pancytopenia, dramatic weight loss and fatigue, I had difficulty falling asleep as well as getting back to sleep when I awakened during the night. What worked for me then, and now, is the Military Sleep Method used by Navy Seals. Here is a link to an article on it:

It takes a bit of practice, but what else is there to do when you can't sleep!! It works well for me and I hope @asolidrock and @surftohealth88, and any other fellow MCC insomniacs, will have some success with it too.

Thanks Bill 😃 ! Will try that method tonight ! Yes, I fall asleep with no problem, but after first 4 hours of sleep cycle and during a light phase of sleep I wake up and *BAM , allll the troubles of this world (not only my own) descend on me 😵💫. Most nights I manage to fall asleep after an hour or so, but some I just give up and have to "do something". Sometimes Benadryl helps, sometimes small glass of warm milk and half of a banana, sometimes just "getting really cold" helps lol, sometimes repeating payers over and over. Usually before dawn I fall in a deep sleep again but than wake up at 9:30 and feeling so sluggish and groggy 🥴.
