with her voice. The thing is, I watch at about 6 in the evening. Get up at 9. And I am not tired. We will see how tonight goes as I did not take a nap this evening. I am charging up my tablet so I can watch tonight. You know, I have felt so shitty with the lack of sleep that I was going to start a post about :How much sleep do you get? But I read yours first. The trazodone used to knock me right out, Gee, I fell asleep on the toilet. Husband also found me asleep at my desk. At first I thought it was the change in the clocks, but I know it's not that now. Wish you luck. I am going to try the site that the one poster linked. It sounds like Calm.
