I used to sleep right through the night but not so much now. Seems trips to the bathroom are part of that. Sometimes I'll just come here to the computer until I'm tired again. Sometimes just have too much on My mind almost like I forgot how to relax. There are times i'll take even naps when I usually didn't in the past to make up for lost sleep.

I get that. I sleep between 4 and 6 hours a night but never all the way through. I find myself up at least 2 or 3 times a night. But I find that I am a champion napper now. Never used to be but now it's a Sunday afternoon ritual.

My mind seldom stops when I lie down in bed. There's so much more to do. Consequently, I'm back up within minutes to work on genealogy, play a few tunes on the guitar, even Solitaire. Scripture reading helps as well. Often, the time is 2:00 a.m. by the time I get back to bed for the third time.
Repeated bathroom visits don't help either.

Greg I hate that for you but on the lighter side of what you wrote. My Uncle and name sake for my son said before he passed, when you got to be his age you spent all your time looking for a place to pee and trying to remember some son of bitches name.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - Yeah, don't. It's not a good thing, and I'm sort of stuck with it now.

The problem with drinking yourself to sleep is that you aren't really sleeping... you're sedated. In that situation your brain isn't doing the things it needs to do while you're asleep so, aside from your hangover, you wake up fuzzy and feeling less rested than when you laid down.
Another huge problem with drinking yourself to sleep is that you become a prime candidate for alcoholism. You don't mean to but it just sort of creeps up on you.
I would advise you to find another coping mechanism - alcohol is not a good choice.
