Lately I am worried with a few things that are going on (one of these days I will tell you) and I think it is because of that I am having troubles to sleep. Here I am, it is almost 2am and I can't sleep. I wish I knew a magical formula to put me to sleep.

What do you do when you have troubles to sleep? Picture has nothing to do with the post, it is just a beautiful umbrella sky at night.

We cannot sleep because we are stressed and we know the reason. In the background we are worried because of this situation. I stay in bed hoping to get my sleep back.

@nela13 Yes, it is. It's helped me get back in a sleep cycle after so many years of only sleeping a few hours a night.

Melatonin is a natural thing, isn't it?

I usually fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow. On the few nights I can't, I get out of bed to myLot. I hope you are okay. If you need to talk, PM me.

I am taking meds to sleep. You can go for more natural ones like reading a book or drinking warm milk.

Yes, I would go for more natural solutions, as I don't like milk I would go for tea.

@nela13 What is the best tea for sleeping? Is it chamomile.

I thought you couldn't sleep because of those umbrellas. I can't even get a complete sleep.

That umbrella sky looks really lovely. I'm sorry you're having trouble sleeping. I don't really have any good solutions.

@nela13 We saw our first umbrella skies in Amiens in France and thought they were beautiful. We'd never see them before.

Thinking of you. How have you been since? The other night I was tossing in bed until 3 AM when finances came up. I prayed and sought God's grace and help, and remembered all the kind things he has helped us through all these years.
