The Sewing Mom

I’ve been making mental notes that I want to go over with the doctor the next time I see her regarding what may or may not be causing my headaches. One of those things is my sleeping patterns, or usually, my lack of sleep.

I’ve always had trouble falling asleep, and then once I am asleep, I many times have trouble staying asleep. I’ve used the white noise machine to lull me to sleep. I read before going to bed. I do my best to keep my husband from snoring so that the noise doesn’t keep me awake. I also keep my bedroom very dark because I can’t sleep with light in the room. On occasion, I’ve kept a notepad and pen by the bed to write down thoughts when I wake up during the night. That’s allowed me to go back to sleep, knowing I won’t forget what popped into my head by morning.

Different things work at different times and I’m always trying something different.  What methods do you use to get a good nights sleep?
