Thank you, Ginger. My dr is aware as he prescribes them. He would like me to stop Benadryl but I have an itchy skin condition Grovers and feel I need it at night. I will try journaling. I think having my cat sleep with me is interfering but she is insistent and will meow at door. I do enjoy reading before I initially fall asleep. Also keep room very cool (even with exorbitant electric bills) and quite dark. I’m afraid to turn light on to read in middle of night. Sometimes the FitOn meditations help. Also, I get hungry in the night and need to eat a banana or yogurt which sometimes helps me fall asleep.

@help4meandu Sleep problems are the worst! I , too, hate to turn on a light at night, so my husband got me one of his headlamps that the used when he goes out to stargaze. I just lights up a very narrow area focused on the book. Works well for me!. says Energizer
Bananas have serotonin which helps to relax you.

Maybe your kitty kat just wants to be with you to help you feel better. After one of my surgeries, my Jazzie just stayed at the head of the bed. Tank the Crank, her sibling didn't get it. I had two Cavaliers at the time and they stayed on the bed also. Every once in a while they would give me a look that said, "Are we ever getting up today?"
Good luck with the itching. It can sure be annoying.
May you have ease and contentment.
