I presume you have tried white noise generators? Seems like you have a lot on your mind. Problems to solve. Is there any one thing you can resolve that will ease your stress? Haven't read the whole thread and I will assume that exercise and a dose of endorphins [sex] has been suggested? Men are [in]famous for rolling over and playing dead.... I have worked shift work most of my life. 36 years in all. Hopefully less than two years from being done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 A constant air blower noise will work and will also mask out any other noises like auto horns, etc. JJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOwn Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I thought I was going to explain changing your production hours. What time you get up and what time you got to sleep. For me early early morning hours, to work and back home and in bed by 8:00pm I realized I can wake up and still stare at the ceiling. Turn off the news, take a hit and turn on the tunes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should help you nod right off again! Also I discovered that after taking CBD oils I slip into a heavy coma sleep ( unusual since I'm a light sleeper) and wake early. Have heard that before... welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I don't have trouble going to sleep. Staying there is another thing. I am given to taking naps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted March 28, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 28, 2020 A really good talk about sleep with many stats, people have no idea how sleep affects them. With a Professor of Neuroscience and Physiology, Matthew Walker. If nothing else it might put you to sleep, but it really is interesting.

grasshopper Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 @mr clean have you tried "weighted" blankets or [don't laugh] swaddling they can be helpful I worked as a mechanic at a bowling alley Once in a while, we would get an intermittent problem that would require us to "sit on" a machine.... observing the machine. I would catch myself waking on the 2 X 12 catwalk on top of the machines when it shut down.... 6ft to a concrete floor on one side ... the machine on the other Give me a bed, I roll all over the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock63 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 exercise in evening an hour or two before bed....with some melatonin 30 min before you want to sleep...and then you got to turn off phone, tv, stereo.....if anything only white noise to block outside sounds...and then relax to fall asleep. If that fails, a BJ always makes me want to sleep afterward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
