I would like to enjoy the quiet and the time at 2 a.m. in the morning. But if I do and I don't get enough sleep I feel awful the next day and it pretty much ruins a day for me. My tool of last resort is half of a .5 mg Xanax. That usually does it. Stops the chattering in my head.

There's an old saying, "If you can't beat them, join them". What do I mean by that?

I now get up, if i can't get back to sleep. I go into the next room and read an interesting, but dull, book until I feel sleepy again. Then I go back to bed and sleep.

If I lay awake, tossing and turning, I become very stressed and that makes my Pd worse. Stress is very bad for Pd.

Try it!

After watching the video linked below from Ian Frizell on CBD Infused milk, my Partner tried it. The effect has been a total game changer as he is now able to sleep for around 6 hours compared to the former 2-3. Hemp tea (leaves and buds) can be legally bought in some countries Provided the THC levels (the component that gives a psychoactive effect) are below 0.2%. You need to check the legislation in your country. The tea is first dry roasted (covered) in the oven at 90-95 degrees C (not over 100) for 45 minutes and then infused in milk (not skimmed milk as you need the fat for solubility) and without boiling for 45 minutes. He adds about 6 heaped tablespoons of tea per litre of milk and also also a few drops of CBD oil. Preferring a chocolate flavour a cup of the infused milk is then mixed with 2 teaspoons of Nesquick powder and 1 teaspoon of Mannitol.

I got my husband a full body massage mat. The vibrations help lull him back to sleep. He is also taking a slow absorption Melatonin called "RemFresh". That has seemed to help too. At least for now .... who knows what tonight will bring! 😊

Warm a cup of milk and toast a piece of bread. Consume both, brush your teeth and head back to bed. You'll be asleep in no time.
