I'm sorry you're sleep experience is not up to your expectations. But what a fun, hilariously entertaining essay (with lots of catchy asides,) penned as the result of your sleep problems. You describe my nights exactly! I bet your thoughts resonated with lots of cool and not so cool substackers. Wait-- we are all cool. I recall sage advice when I was pregnant with our first baby. "You'll never get a full night's sleep again after having kids." So it may not be because we are old. ?? I wish I had brilliant advice to share other than admitting I take a Tylenol if it's after midnight and I can't shut down my brain. I'll be thinking of you at 3 a.m. tonight!
I truly hope you're sleeping and not thinking of me :)
But thank you for letting me know, as others have, that my experience is, unfortunately, not that unique. So I'm going to work on my expectations. I'll let you know how that goes...
