Not sure I’ve been on call most of my adult life a good nights sleep is rare, once I’m fully retired that might change for the better, or not. I think that is one of the reasons I don’t mind physical work as I sleep better after it. A good power snooze goes a long ways with me.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

L-Tryotophan taken before sleep may help you sleep and may also help the release of hgh from your pituitary gland while in rem sleep...rem sleep is very important for release of testosterone and hgh,
ymmv, but I started to use it.
Valerian root tea is also good for sleep as is melatonin.
I think the state of the country gets into our subconscious and may contribute to problems with sleeping. I wake multiple times during the night, mostly in the first few hours and to pee. If I wake up fully I go sit in a lounge chair and stare at the sky.....then back to bed. They say that the second half of your sleep cycle is made up of more rem sleep so the second half is very important....8 hours or more is best....or so it is said.

Lexapro and ambien were a great help to me There’s still some nights I get keyed up but they really helped. I finally had enough of the dead people sleeping in bed with me and saw a doctor.
