Help With Sleeping

"Adequate sleep is essential for dealing with life's stresses." Mayo Clinic

My daughter told me about a non-addictive sleep aid:  hydroxyz.  It is an antihistamine.  My doctor says it is not as effective as ambian, but I do not want to take anything potentially addictive -- and ambian can be very addictive.  Caregiving is stressful.  It helps if we at least get a good night's sleep.  Other ways to sleep well are to avoid alcohol 2-3 hours before bedtime (and drink moderately in any case) and to avoid screen time 2-3 hours before bedtime.  Having a bedtime ritual, with bed time being consistent also helps.  For 2015 let's sleep well so we can cope well.
