New record for me. Two nights in a row of good sleep.

Made an mask to cover my eyes that also holds my ear plugs in. Goes well with my surgery mask, I now wear to bed.
I may look strange, but I'm finally getting some sleep. But, I did miss the SOTU live and had to catch up on all of that.

No cannabis gummies or two tokes. No pills just total black out and a lower noise level. Alleges have been hit or miss lately, so I wear my COVID mask in the house now, but don't want to blame it on the new cat that curls up next to me at night.

I no longer take the sleep gummies. I wake up with a really dry mouth, and have trouble getting back to sleep.

Right now, I still take a very low dose of a benzo, but hope to get beyond that when I have more freedom to exercise, etc.

I try to save that as it requires higher doses over time. Dr. offered a script for Ambien, but that scares me.
