I survived and am up and running lol. I don't lament over it anymore really, now that I am retired it isn't as painful as having to perform to some standard. Still being awake in the middle of the night is a strange feeling.
Don't hate me, but I usually don't have trouble falling asleep. I let my body tell me when its time for bed and don't fight it. Sometimes its midnight, sometimes 8 pm. If in the mid day, I get sleepy, I take a nap.
The problem with me is, that mid-day nap totally messes up my night schedule (when I can get on one). Even a 20 min nap anytime during the day can have me up until 8am the next morning. It's a struggle I've dealt with all my life. I have a wee bit of envy for ppl who go to bed at 8pm and rise at 5am. On the bright side, night is when my thoughts come alive. I like the brownies, too
Those sheep are too much activity. I'll be wanting to get up and join the jumpin' sheep train lol. I need the hum of my spacecraft sleep track with hi bass, low treble. It's the only thing that shuts my brain down... and the brownies
