I’ve been working shift work for 40 yrs and know how sleep patterns can get off track.
My best advice is to force yourself to stay up till about 9-10 pm, drink enough adult beverages to make you very groggy. You will immediately go to sleep then have alarm set for about 7am the next morning. This usually resets my internal clock enough to get back on track. Sometimes it takes a couple days but it’s always worked for me.

Sorry to hear scoop...I too struggle to sleep...too much stress in the life I guess..they say reading before bed helps...drink a small glass of milk before bed...that helps me some..but I have to drink lactose free milk cause if I don't I'll be on the crapper at 2am!!!....what also helps me is some relaxing music...Pachebel Canon is probably my favorite piece of relaxation music...Check it out..
I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea...got the CPAP mask but don't tolerate it well..I yank it off at nights sometimes
So, i still need a solution for that..
Why is it we sleep so well when we're young but can't when we age?
.....this is all Greendawgs fault!

What I would give for at least 4 hours of sleep. It's been that long since I've had that much. This really sucks

Be aware that stress, allergies, GERD, sleep apnea and/or a snoring partner can cause this. Originally Posted by Scoop27

Do not take naps during the day. 7. clean the entire room, sheets, pillow, pillowcase, blinds. Dust free. 8. Do not take Ambien (Zolpidem)
Good luck
