I went to a Sleep Dr and kept a journal for several weeks and then met him. He put my info into an algorithm and gave me advice from that. A regular wake up time, and an 8-9 hour (depends on the number of hours you think is best) for sleep based on that. It may be that six hours is all you need, so go to bed later? Also, no napping after 3 pm. I am in Arizona and there is a major sleep lab there. I do find CBD/THC 1:1 useful for the anxiety about sleep, but needing it less now. I do the breathing exercises, and sleep yoga sometimes, too, if I am tense.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I ordered CBD gummies without melatonin this morning from Charlotte's Web. They had a nice special running and I am hopeful it will help. I also listen to you tube meditations that are helpful. I do not nap after 3 and really try not to nap at all unless I am "falling down exhausted" and can't keep my eyes open. Best wishes M.E.

P.S. I am a Marye also
