Two things seems to work better for me as well. I can't really stand tv without something else. I've found crocheting to be pretty engaging most of the time while watching tv. It helps. I like bigger projects that take a while. I'm doing a blanket right now and I really like how it's turning out. Still... my mind wanders and thoughts can be bad.

I don't even sleep late anymore. I wish I looked forward to going to bed.Oh, I'm not trying to say that it's so great for me either. When trazodone works well for me, it's good because I can fall right asleep. I have ALWAYS had a hard time getting comfortable. It drives people crazy if they have slept in a bed with me or even a room with me. I just fidget and toss and turn so much. Trazodone has helped with that though because it knocks me out and I don't have time to fidget. However, lately it hasn't been working so well. I always wake up several times in the middle of the night. Sometimes lately I can't fall back asleep for an hour or more. But for the most part, sleep time is better than every other part of the day. When I wake up in the night, I think to myself that I really should just appreciate the middle of the night, sleeping, that I don't have to get up and face the day yet.
