11. I hesitate to share this

because it seems a little wacky. Part of my problem with sleep is that my mind keeps running over things I need to do the next day. I need to hear someone else talking, like the news on tv, to fall asleep. The trazadone does help when I wake up during the night and can't get back to sleep, but just as crucial to me is having dull talking going on in my ears. Here is what I do. I have Netflix on my ipad mini. I download tv series that I've seen already (so I won't be interested enough in what's going on to wake up enough to pay attention) and listen via earbuds. All night long. I share a bed with my husband, who can't sleep with noise, so the earbuds are important. Podcasts like This American Life work, too, but since it has to play all night, a long-running series (I'm relistening to The Office these days) is better for me. Hope this helps.
