Christine, have you tried herb capsules and herbal teas? Those help and I have a good list of them if you’re interested. Also a biggie I found that helps me sleep is to turn my router and my phone on airplane mode. Staying off electronics a half hour before sleep also helps. Believe me, I’ve become an expert at getting sound sleep. We need our REM desperately!
Thanks Lisa. Yes I’ve tried a lot of things and I usually find I’m over stimulated when I can’t sleep, so agree with you on the electronics. Lately I’ve listened to meditation music and it really helps. Plus of course the Tylenol PM always works 🙂👍
love this
Thank you so much! 🙂
Sometimes the limbo occurs just before we go to sleep.
Yes it probably does Dwight. I just want to get to sleep and not do the limbo!! LOL 🙂
Yes!
it’s hard to sleep when the mind is in overdrive. If I am really tired though, I sleep instantly when I am in bed, smiles.
Yes Grace! I have to be dog tired to fall asleep instantly 😑
I know that feeling, You’ve captured it perfectly.
Thank you my friend! 🙂💕
You’re welcome.
Sounds familiar! Awesome piece
Yes, we can all relate! 🙂 Thank you!
I will always fall asleep… but I also wake a lot during the night.
Just as bad! 😕 thanks for reading Bjorn
Ugh…you have perfectly described my night.
You have a lot on your mind right now 😢 sorry
No worries. Such is life.
that nocturnal limbo seems to stretch into hours
Isn’t that the truth Laura! 🙂
I like the thought of limbo being the period between being awake and asleep.
Yes that’s right Frank….better than dancing it! LOL 🙂
The dilemma of wide awakes! Wouldn’t it be nice if the brain had an on/off?
Oh that would be too perfect, wouldn’t it? 🙂

My apologies for replying so late – life and work intruded.
As I write this at 1:57 am, I certainly can identify with your questions – and hope for the same result.
Thanks for adding to the Limbo prompt

Please don’t apologize. It’s all good! 🙂
