Pretty much a problem for me since I turned fifty. It became even worse here in my mid sixties with RA. The pain and discomfort no matter the position associated with RA made sleeping nearly impossible. Taking magnesium before bed helped a lot, but what really did it for me was the sound of heavy rain and thunderstorms off a jewtube channel. It runs for ten hours. Listening to and concentrating on just the sound of it lulled me to sleep quite fast despite the pain. First time I had slept 8 hours straight in years. Sometimes a full 10 hrs. A lot of times without having to piss. Even if I do have to get up and piss I can go right back down, where before not so much. I don’t know, between a mind racing with thoughts, combined with pain and discomfort, focusing on the sounds of a soothing rainstorm put me right down. With vivid dreams too so it got me in that deep sleep I hadn’t had in forever. Might give that a try.
