Morning @Lou54

I have had problems sleeping since November.

I have OA and Pallindromic Rheumatism.

I have tried all sorts of remedies meditation/ audio books / meds before bed etc etc

I know just get up and walk around which eases my pains and return to bed.

I can be up once or five times a night.

I decided not to fight it just let my body tell me what it wants basically.

Works for me.

Hope this helps
