Keep your bed strictly for sleeping, or other activities that should only be done in bed.

That sentence, even when walked back, sounds unimaginative.

While you are actually sleeping, however, it's best to keep the room as dark as possible.

I travel with a night light. My work trips are often a different hotel each night. Because I am (a) old, and (b) a prostate cancer survivor, I am usually up at least two or three times a night. Stumbling around in the dark and being found the next morning suffering from a concussion is not my idea of "health."

There's simply no way this comment will receive the respect it deserves. Full point.

"Soaking up some rays every day is helpful for the circadian rhythms"

Difficulty - Michigan gets sunshine about 10% of the days this time of year.

Occasionally, we both lie awake trying to fall asleep. Stress of the day, thinking about what needs to be done tomorrow, should we pay $1,000 to repair the furnace or is it time to replace...all the stuff that all couples think about. We got in the habit of playing some mellow tunes at a low volume, a little something to listen to and get your brain to shift into low gear. Now we're still both awake 45 minutes later when the music shuts off. So I don't think it's helping. Maybe we need to switch from yacht rock to heavy metal.

Sleep hygiene is to insomnia as 'kissing the booboo' is to compound fractures.

A night light is the only thing that keeps me from stepping on my black dog when I get out of bed.  He's invisible in the dark.

Is it that hard for you all to turn on a bedside lamp or phone light before getting out of bed?

Yes, actually, it is. I sleep in a hammock and can't put a table next to it or I'll crash into it when the hammock sways.

I've been married 31 years. Mrs. Swimo has'nt slept with me in 24 years. Sometimes I sleep right around the clock, getting up to pee, sip my Coke and go back to Slumberland.

I sleep better when I take the laundry off my bed.

My S.O. used to get ticked off that I easily fell asleep while our kids and friends watched a movie in the next room; or when they came home from a football game with a couple of dozen kids for an impromptu dance party; or during overnight parties when they literally stayed up until breakfast was served. Now that they are both in their own apartments, the tables have turned. I never thought anything would keep me awake, but not being able to hear that they are okay keeps me up at night. I know that eventually I will adjust if the lack of sleep doesn't kill me first. I am just so very tired, yet so very, very awake.
