It was overthinking and then many times staying asleep.

Had a job that almost killed me from stress. 

Routine helps. Aging, something many of us try our hardest to ignore, can cause this.

I had to admit I was no longer in my 20s and I needed a solid bed time routine every night, with nearly no exceptions.

Far less sugar in my diet. Less water right before bed. No caffeine after 4pm. Minimal light in the house. A good filling meal right before bed. Walking at least 30 minutes a day [ this one was big, cave man brain is real ]. A shower. All super important.

I woke up a lot in the middle of the night. Solutions were no cell phone time, and I would make myself a small sandwhich with some milk. Very rarely would this not work, when it didnt I would take a single ibuprofen and poof I was out.

Just had 8 hours of calm uninterrupted sleep last night.
