You might want to try mindfulness as a strategy to at least deal with an excited mind. I use the Headspace app and there’s a fee. It has midnight SOS meditations. I haven’t had insomnia since I’ve been medicated with antidepressants for the last 10+ years, so I haven’t needed it for sleeping. But, I love listening to the silly bedtime stories at bedtime and the odd times when I do wake up at night and can’t get back to sleep. It does a good job of switching my big old brain off, which feels very relaxing. You can also take a look at this website. They seem to have a ton of material. https://www.mindful.org/a-mindfulness-practice-for-better-sleep/ Good luck. Insomnia was my precursor to deep depression. Praying that you find relief.

Thank you Sherman. This is very good information.

I have tv on 24h day. I have funny shows on for positive interactions. Since I was a 12 year old I at 70 still fight it. If it is quiet I jump at every sound. As a kid we had attic fan by my room. Daddy would turn it off and I would sneak and turn it on. He never knew which 5 kids did it. Lol so steady noise helps.
