Addenda September 2023:
No longer talking prilosec, taking atenolol instead
Currently using Apollo Neuro instead of hemi-sync.
No longer taking progesterone, due to having had ovarian cancer, though that was mostly due to an undiagnosed BRCA2 mutation
No longer using pillows between my arms and knees
No longer using wrist braces. While these helped my carpal tunnel syndrome, they aggravated the arthritis in my thumbs. Just trying to dictate more, rather than typing

I don't use progesterone any more, btw, because I got ovarian cancer and my doctors feel that this hormone might encourage tumor growth
@joshgroban More about what I have to do to go to sleep
11) Caltrate + Minerals (else I get muscle tension & joint pain)
12) God Box (If anything is bothering me, or on my to do list, I write it down & put it in the box for God to take care of overnight. It's sort of like what Dumbledore did in Harry Potter, where he pulled extra thoughts out of his head with his wand and put them in the pensieve)
(BTW -- my progesterone container says some men also need progesterone supplements in order to sleep. My experience is that without it I get racing thoughts that keep me awake.)
Yesterday's post repeated:
What I have to do to go to sleep
1- prilosec for GERD
2 - melatonin
3 - progesterone
4 - pillows between my elbows & knees
5 - wrist braces
6 - mouthguard
7 - yoga before bed
8 - journal before bed
9 - bedtime prayer
10 - hemi-sync (Sleep with CD player)
Without any of these things, I can't sleep. With them, I'm fine.…
