Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 08, 2019

“I’d’ve put it to you and you’d be stress free.

Next time, go ahead, awaken me"

“So, what ISN’T helping?”

Evidently, Janis does not enjoy certain pre-sleep activities as much as does Arlo.

I used to awaken at 2 AM with the same problem. Mum told me that was when I was born.

3AM = early morning or late night. Either way the best medicine would be sex to get the endorphins flowing so you can relax and fall sleep.

What’s on your mind Janis? Too many hairs on the brush? Try Melatonin, 10mg. Once a day at bedtime for awhile.

Usually Arlo is awake by this time and making coffee.

Since I take acetaminothen PM before bed, I’m still groggy enough to drop off when I come back from the bathroom. Better living through chemistry.

Why doesn’t she wake up Arlo? He could help her enjoy being awake.

After several conversations with a real sleep doctor, it’s clear that that chronic, drug-resistant insomnia is not treatable and the whole “sleep hygiene” is a sad, sad joke. Ditto CBT.

Kwitcherbellyachin’. The 2007-8 debacle in the USA, completely destroyed our retirement, such as it was. There will be no retirement for us, only down to 20-hour weeks, IF we can.

retirement for me is great, I saw it as a goal and was prepared for it.

Turn on Coast-2-Coast AM, and it will either put you back to sleep or scare you fully awake…

Welcome to my world Janis and as you get older it’s get’s worse and worse. Most nights I am up all night. Plus it interferes with the energy I need for my cleaning.

WELLLL!!! Wake up Arlo and ask if there is anything he can do….
