Still Not Sleeping

You may remember my husband and I tried something different to help us sleep - dark time starting at 9pm. We were turning off all artificial sources of light and using only candles. It has been a couple weeks now and while I have absolutely loved dark time it hasn't really helped either of us sleep better.

Hubby has basically given up on it entirely but I wouldn't mind keeping it up just because I enjoy it so much. I've begun reading a bit before bed and even though I can't get far before my eyes or my brain give out on me it has still been nice. Plus we have spent a lot more time playing games or just sitting around talking, which has been really great.

Even though I know I'll never convince him to start dark time earlier, I do hope I can convince him to continue doing it at least to some degree. There is something romantic and cozy about the candle light. Plus it's migraine friendly.

In the meantime, still trying to figure a way to get better sleep. I've tried Melatonin, deep breathing, counting sheep, dark time...Any ideas?
