My sleep is interrupted nightly by an over active brain that fails to shutdown...this will go on for a couple weeks then I get a couple good night’s sleep then repeat. I’m retired..8 years now so it ain’t work. I’m in bed a little after 9 and up by 6 and awake every hour in between.

Just make certain that you don’t have sleep apnea. It can go undiagnosed for years and will seem like you just can’t fall asleep. It ruins all your organs because they don’t get sleep or sufficient oxygen.
I had it for years. I have a machine now and no more trouble sleeping.

This sounds like my life. I have a very hard time getting to sleep. When I do get to sleep, I will wake up in the middle of the night; and, then have to try to get back to sleep. When I do, occastionally, fall asleep for a full night, I feel so good; but, these nights are few and far between.

I also have an "active" brain.
