I knew someone who's parents retired to Arizona. She got a kick out of black lighting scorpions and catching them with reversed tape on a stick. Bet there is no season on that hunt! In all seriousness. I've known some people that had trauma (Vietnam vets, retired Special forces, people who lost the farm, etc). People who had trouble sleeping. They tell me they worry about stuff they shouldn't worry about. Little things like a bill they already paid. Wake up fretting about what they call stupid stuff, but it keeps them up anyway. Some get meds. Says it helps. No shrink, just a regular medical doctor. Say they still feel stress but it's now at a normal/appropriate level. Don't know what they take and it's probably different for each. Don't take on a regular basis, just when they are worked up and haven't slept for a couple of days. Might be worth asking your doc? Yep, I could list 100 things going through my noodle right now. One of them is the 6-8 week wait to see a doctor here in the valley.

If nothing else a referral might speed things up in Oz...

I was up about 2 this morning. Dosed a bit afterwards , but slept good before then.
My back was hurting. Probably from taking a spill in the driveway. Dang, I am getting old.

I couldn’t sit in the recliner anymore. My back was hurting. Laid down in the guest bedroom so I wouldn’t wake the Cuda. Finally got a few hours sleep then. Been screwing around in the garage installing new rear tires on my golf cart. That’s the good part of not sleeping, you can get shit done.

I did some back exercises from the chiropractor, washed dishes, had breakfast and coffee, then went back to bed for a half hour nap. My back loosened up by then,

Have you tried teledoc? We have used it a bunch since COVID started. Doc pulls you up on a zoom call, no need to leave your house. If he needs blood they write you a script to go to a lab.

For nights we can’t sleep we put the calm app on which is sounds or sleep stories. Our go to is Mathew McConaughey reading a sleep story. Fucker puts me to sleep in 2 minutes every time. No shit? You fall the sleep listening to Wooderson's sweet sweet voice? Yes. We both sleep like shit. My feet hurt when I lay down, my wife is all shit in her head. She worries about everything, her family is bat shit crazy and causes a lot of stress for her. We have tried everything to help sleep. Everything mentioned on here, every pillow ever made. This one sleep story does the trick. No idea how or why but I am out within 2 minutes every time. Now it doesn’t help me when I wake up three hours later and toss and turn for hours but it does get me to sleep.

Why fuck up your retirement cause you're too stubborn to go see a Doc. It's not like you don't have the money. Call your Doc from home, set up an appointment, fly home and see him.

I am going, have to go for all the meds to get renewed. You just can’t walk in anywhere down here and my guy wants you sitting in front of him. Soon as I fly home I will see my guy.

This is not something I'm good at. I wish I was better.

I'd start simple. You just need one of those house cats that insists on sleeping on top of your pillow, the kind that would wrap around your head and purr all night. I've got some cousins that have to do that to keep their servants functional. I don't do it, but I know it helps some.
