I add a small glass of wine before bed; and only take 3mg Melatonin.
I couldn't get to bed on time all last week so was short of sleep too. I took vacation today, turned off my alarm, and finally got a decent rest.

* Hug * Yes, I have been there. It is normal for me to take melatonin, go to sleep at 9:00pm and wake up at 1:30am. However, I can go to the bathroom and get back to sleep.. unless I start thinking about work. And what I want to happen that day... and what I fear may happen... and.. and... and... :) At times like those I will take another hit of melatonin and meditate on 'letting go'...

I take magnesium on a regular basis before bed - it helps with anxiety, depression, muscle recover after exercise and sleep. If you aren't taking that supplement, I would consider investigating it and seeing if it might be helpful.

Rock639 - Magnesium, isn’t that the same ingredients in laxatives?

Thanks guys! Sorry so many of you know my pain! I am taking magnesium everyday and it does help keep me regular 😬 lol I fall asleep easily but wake up to pee and then my mind is moving 10k miles a minute and I can’t turn it off. Sleeping has always been an issue for me. Even as a child. But my new job is so stressful that it is intensifying my anxiety to the point where I’m obsessing over everything and every decision. I just need to chill

@CrashtestDawnie - Right before you got this promotion... I WARNED you this would happen Virgo! :) :) I went through the same thing. What worked for me was accepting that while I was 'managing people' I actually cannot control or make anyone do anything. Mostly, that things will go wrong. I can only do my best. Now, I am thankful for my health, family, this moment, ect. Now get some sleep! :) :)
