Been lingering on the periphery of this thread for a while and thought I would wade in and say “Hi from Scotland”. On the side of the hill the gales batter us from time to time and have been relentless this winter but nothing like the weather extremes you guys get over the water. Just glad to hear everyone is safe!
Good Morning @Greylag
Thank you
From Miami County, Ohio USA. The hardest hit area was Darke County to the west of me.
 
Anyone have any solid suggestions on how I can get some consistent sleep tonight and tomorrow night? I’ll be in a hotel in nyc. I’m not exaggerating that I have literally gotten maybe 2 hours of sleep since I woke up Monday morning. Also I don’t drink or use cannabis so it needs to be au natch. Appreciate any advice!:) I’m running on fumes and when I get to nyc this morning I have a lunch, 2 afternoon meetings and a dinner.
Hmm not sure. Maybe some background noise like music or tv? I have a feeling your issue is more because you’re not in your own bed. I get like that sometimes when staying at a hotel.

Liquid Tylenol PM. It works. NO alcohol though

No rain or ocean sounds though, that has a undesirable side effect :ROFLMAO:
 
It's kind of like hurricanes on land, only a narrow spout
With the exception, with hurricanes we can plan for close to a week ahead of time (I’ve ridden out more than I can count) but with tornados, they come like a thief in the night. Like a finger of God reaching down…

On that note…the Morning Z…sorry a tad late this morning…i kinda sorta got to sleep in😂

Have you tried melatonin tablets? They seem to work for me. 5 mg…seems to be right. The 10mg’s upset my stomach. Everyone is different but they help me fall asleep FAST! My problem is I will get maybe 4-5 deep sleep, then I’ll wake up….sometimes roll over and fall off…half the time I’m wide awake…that’s me though.

Less planned and sneaky. Once when my children were in high school and intermediate school we had 3 tornadoes in 24 hours! The unique unstable weather pattern caused this. My nerves were fried after it.

I don’t fear much weather wise (although I have a healthy respect for Mother Nature), having seen just about everything, but tornadoes scare the ever living 💩 out of me!

We don’t know for sure, but during the last hurricane, we think we had one, probably an F1 that hit our back yard. The reason we think it was a 🌪️ was the neighbors pine trees that ended up on the other neighbors house, had a twist in the trunks where it didn’t snap clean. They were 40’ pines. Our back yard it laid our back fence down, but no other damage. It was in the middle of the night, the wind was howling all night, so no way to hear the “freight train” sound…it sounded like that for 8 hours!

I started a how to thread a few years ago, @saltandpepper55

Check it out for lots of good (melatonin, going to the bathroom) and bad (liquor) advice, but the things that have worked for me.

Mealatonin
CBN (CBD w another natural agent) it has no psychoactive effect at all but good for sleep and anxiety
Stretching before bed
Going to the bathroom when I wake up no matter if I have to go or not.
