Health Issues Sleep problems

Definitely in a bad cycle right now, going on about a week now with having wakeful periods in the middle of the night, between 2-3 hours. My body is feeling the strain now, too.

I'm involved in an experiment.
After learning about, what is it called - Diurnal sleep patterns - I've ditched almost every rule I made about sleeping .
Instead of going to bed at the same time every night, I now go to bed as soon as I feel sleepy. And if I find myself awake for longer than 30 minutes in the middle of the night, I get out of bed. Depending on things I might go back to bed later or try and take a nap later.
the first week of my experiment, according to Apple Health I was getting less sleep each night. But now I think I'm getting more.

I don't often have an issue sleeping and yet two nights ago I was eating potato chips at 3:22 am LOL

Ugh.
I did manage to go back to sleep around 5 am and sleep until 6:40 but I do not feel great. Thankfully I haven't been having this issue often. I've been doing pretty good in general.

Not really a sleep problem. More of a pain problem keeping me from sleeping. I debated putting it in the gripe thread. But my lower back is keeping me awake. I took some Tylenol so hopefully it kicks in enough where I can fall back to sleep. Of course picking up my phone was not a good idea. Luckily it's quiet in here right now so not too much of a distraction lol.

I have a link to listening to stories that are completely boring and put you to sleep, it works...

Thank you...I will check them out. I usually put on my soundscapes or I re-listen to one of my audiobooks that are not particularly interesting. Nothing seems to be helping lately. I know it will pass...it always does. It's just frustrating when it's happening.
