I struggled with sleeping when I moved to a new state years ago. I still am a little anxious when I sleep and I have my sleep regiment down to the minute in order to get a solid night's rest. I think sleep has some innocence until you lose it and afterward it changes permanently. It has in my life so far.

I know, I wish I could go back to child hood sleeping. Not caring about anything. Sad.

  And having nightmares and terrors about irrational impossible dangers .... No thanks.

    Except now it's replaced with nightmares and terrors about the horrible dangers that real life presents us.

> I think sleep has some innocence until you lose it and afterward it changes permanently. Yeah, it's called 'getting older'.

  That's oversimplifying/over-generalizing it. There are a lot of things associated with getting older.

  I'm older than many here, I suspect. And I use modafinil and coffee. But if I'm tired enough, and I know that I have enough slack, I have no problem sleeping. Indeed, if it's quiet enough, I can still sleep for 12 hours or whatever.
