Thanks, John. Sorry to hear you suffer from this. I guess many of us sleep less well as we get older. In my case, while I can normally get off to sleep okay, my dodgy prostate wakes me up several times a night, and this affects the quality of sleep I get. I find 5HTP supplements help a bit with sleep quality (they are melatonin-precursors) though I do worry about the long-term side-effects of taking them.

My doctors’ practice have diagnosed my problem by phone as being the ravages of old age and guided me to websites for exercises I might do. I do these but to little avail. Indeed after the exercises my neck usually feels worse. But I have good days and bad days. Pain is a disrupter of sleep which I suspect few remedies can thoroughly address.

Reading is a good remedy. Recently I have taken to reading Revelation over and over again to see if I can work out what the other meanings are as well as the obvious “devil’s implants” used to make everyone conform if they want to eat or conduct business (end of Chapter 13). This eventually gets me off.

Painkillers can help. But I try to manage without these as much as possible. I realise how griping this comment must seem. All the remedies are worth trying and I know there are people much worse than me who have difficulty getting to sleep.
