I review the temple ordinances, that always makes me fall asleep

Sounds counterintuitive, but a cold shower.

A hot bath but air drying works for me … the same chilling effect I think

I suggest hot ice. It’s the best of both worlds.

Read a few chapters of a book that's interesting but not exciting (currently, I'm using St. Augustine's "City of God"

Fellow insomnia sufferer here. A few things that may help:

May 14, 7:34am

I really struggle with waking up middle of the night. Sigh. One thing that helps

runnincoug

May 14, 7:46am

Yeah, sleep maintenance insomnia is the worst

May 14, 7:51am

I don't think there is any one thing that works for everyone. One thing that has helped me is listening to an audiobook

May 14, 8:08am

As someone who has always had trouble sleeping, an Ambien prescription has been a life saver.

Mockingbird

Benadryl or anything with that same thing give me mad restless legs.
