Insomnia. How well do you sleep?

I have restless legs and they prevent me from sleeping. It can be 6 o'clock in the morning before I finally fall asleep. I get up, make breakfast for DH and me, then I have a sleep for a couple of hours.

I have sleep aids - codeine phosphate, sleep gummies, but nothing really works.

I am 73 and none of this bothered me until about 3 years ago.

It's very tiring, and trying.

I find listening to an audio book helps. I don't try to get back to sleep as such, I just rest and listen . I usually nod off pretty quickly but if not at least I'm resting and I don't feel too bad the following day. I hope you find something that helps.

I hadn’t finished this and posted it by mistake. My doc prescribed zoplicone which was so strong I tried to get up to go to the loo and fell out of bed and cracked 3 ribs. I was basically still asleep.
