After dealing with a sleep disorder for the past 2 1/2 years where 4 hours sleep is heaven I think I finally hit the right button. I tried coffee moderation, drinking coffee at night , Tv on, TV off, 1 pillow 3 pillows etc. nothing worked.
About 2 weeks ago I went back to having my early evening cup of coffee and it seemed to help. I am thinking now it wasn’t so much the coffee that actually helped me sleep as much as it was the coffee sharpening me up just a tad so I could plan tomorrow better. I just realized I have always had a plan for the next day which I usually settled on early the evening before. I find now I can relax, watch a movie and then drift off to sleep and sleep for 6 hours or close to it. I have removed some complicated unneccessary clutter from my day to day activities and make it a point to tie up what I consider loose ends even though I am not being pressured by anyone.
I never realized how much it bothered me just knowing I had to get a box out to someone even though time was not really an issue. From this point forward I plan to stop volunteering for commitments that are not really important.
Being recently retired I tend to over estimate how much time I have on my hands. Thought I would post this in case anyone else might be experiencing a similar thing.
