@dennismm Once again you made me smile 🙂. At 82 I make my nightly trips once or twice to the bathroom and I see that stupid iPhone sitting on my night stand next to my bed when I get back. I hate to admit it but my worries haven't been as bad as yours but I do pick up the phone and check for messages even though I turn off the ringer at night when I go to bed.

A few years ago I had the opportunity to listen Dr. Edward Creagan at a Mayo Clinic social media seminar in a small breakout meeting. He gave me a sleep tip which has helped both me and my wife even though it's sometimes a struggle - set a regular sleep schedule and stick to it. Doesn't mean I fall asleep right away but I am in bed at the same time every night and I get up every morning at the same time (5am) which I've always done since my daughter brought home her first cat - no need for an alarm clock and I don't know why they know it's 5am before I do! Here's an older (2015) newsfeed article and video from with Dr. Creagan that may provide some suggestions if you haven't already tried them:
