Having lost two close relatives in the space of a year has not helped with sleeplessness. I lost my father March last year who I was very close to suddenly within a week he was gone and then my mother's sister a favourite Aunt on New Year's Eve this year. I never new that bereavement could be like that, hits you like a sledgehammer. As soon as the lights went out I would be in panic mode especially after my father's death. My 86 year old mother has mobility problems and other problems which affects her sleep too and wakes up sometimes after only two hours sleep. Perhaps that is part of the grieving process but for me I found comfort playing games on my computer and listening to the radio (with earphones) to get me through the night but reading this thread I realise now that it might not be doing me any good having devices in the room I am trying to sleep in. Anyway I moved the computer downstairs last night out of the bedroom and got a better full night's sleep and rested enough to take on whatever problem may crop up next. Fingers crossed.
