My cat spends at least half of her time outside. She has no problem letting us know she wants out. And loudly, I might add.
Are you working hard enough physically each day? Try running a few miles and lifting weights. You can eat or smoke some indica, but there are other natural things that don’t mess with your dopamine as much: valerian root, 5-HTP, GABA, L-Theanine, a good screw, chamomlie, etc. One thing that really helped me when waking up at some messed up time was to just not worry about it As that will make it worse. Turn on a dim lamp and read a book that you find to be less-than-riveting, and you’ll doze back off soon enough. Just try stuff until you re-establish your normal rhythm
A lot of alcohol, especially beer, has b vitamins. B vitamins energize. But yeah, have 2 drinks like a reasonable man and get poor sleep. Knock off a 6er like a person half my age - sleep wonderfully. Sometimes I can’t decide which is worse…
Excercise during the day and cutting back on caffeine has always worked for me. Make the last hour or so before bedtime a quiet time, try to resolve anything that’s been rattling around in your mind. Just sorting thing out mentally before quiet time helps prevent “monkey brain”.
I’m nocturnal if left to my own devices so I’ve always had to fight my natural patterns.

I had insomnia problems for years. 3 years ago I started using good quality CBD oil and gummies. It's expensive stuff, but I found the more modest priced CBD products lacking in their ability to help. One must use CBD products on a consistent basis for a good number of weeks to really experience its benefits. It took me approx. 6 weeks of consistent daily use to experience the benefits I had hoped for. I now sleep 6-8 hours/night and the products have relieved my chronic pain issues to the point that I no longer use Loritab (Norco) pain meds. My bone and joint doctor feels that the CBD products have to be significantly reducing the inflammation in my joints thus allowing me to no longer need pain meds.
If one chooses to try CBD products be aware there a thousands of different brands available and the dosing suggestions are not a really precise science. Each persons endocannabinoid system is different. I found that full suggested dosages of some more modestly priced CBD products had little to no effect on me. With the better quality CBD products, I use 1/2 their recommended dosages and experience the benefits I desire.

Update: Last night I finally got 8 hours undisturbed sleep in months. I had great sex and then ate homemade coconut shrimp. Had two glasses of whiskey and smoked my new savinelli with Billy budd. I think maybe the shrimp Billy budd combo might have something to do with it.
Hopefully you can duplicate this into a routine. Consider doing the same for a week and report back...!
I’ll have to convince my wife ?
3 minutes? What's taking so long? I've done it in half that time. My wife hates it when I finish, yell "Touchdown!" and then leave the room for some Gatorade while she yells "I'm not done!" I try to encouraging and usually yell back, "Sorry babe, gotta hydrate! Don't worry hun, you'll get faster, you just have to practice more!" Then she doesn't practice at all for like 4 months.
I think I now know what your problem is, and that is your wife is currently planning to kill you.
Maybe that's why she laughs and slaps me really hard on the back when ever I'm going down stairs even though I haven't said anything funny!I think I now know what your problem is, and that is your wife is currently planning to kill you.
Just finished an interesting article which finds that the idea of a "straight eight" is a fairly modern invention and that prior to the Industrial Revolution people's sleep pattern was quite different, with a "first" and "second" sleep, separated by several waking hours devoted to sex, prayer, a meal, work or other necessary tasks.
Not being able to sleep is a terrible thing…I do pray that you get rest you need soon. ?

Caught cold late last week. Took some med and slept ok on Friday. Woke up Saturday, drove 5 hours. Came home, passed out and woke up near noon today. That was a good sleep.
All you guys mentioning a good screw before bed are forgetting the unwritten forum law of posting pictures...
I'm kidding, but I'm also not a moderator so it's up too you..

Really? You want to see pics of pipe smokers screwing? Have you seen many of us on this board? Have you been to a pipe show? The resulting pictures connected together would not only be unwatchable as an adult entertainment, it may be too abhorrent, abominable and disgusting to qualify as a horror movie. At best it could only be seen by deviants so disturbed, so mentally unbalanced, they require lifelong incarceration.
