Wow, thanks for the helpful advice! Many things to try. I'm still sleepy, but getting some sleep. Last night I resorted to a Tylenol PM but still woke up at 4:00, groggy, leaden, but awake nonetheless. As for song lyric recitation, I tried that with "Counting Your Blessings," that old favorite from White Christmas, you know the old "when you're worried and you can't sleep, just count your blessings instead of sheep." I got as far as the line "I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads . . . " Then I couldn't go any farther. Then I started obsessing. "What is the next ****ing line." I even considered going downstairs to the video shelf, pulling it out, disturbing my partner to pop it in the VCR and find out.
Anyway, I'm grateful for your advice and will try some of the techniques myself.
With gratitude,
Kelly
