I was the same when I lived in Blighty. Easy to do when you don’t live in a city. At least an hour for me to get anywhere near nature 

I used to hate working and trying to sleep in places like London, Manchester, Liverpool etc... Would think somewhere like Barcelona would be a 24 hr gaff too...always some f***ing oddball making a noiseI'm not a fan of big city's and towns

Took many a rabbit from the surrounding areas there, d c, and a few from the ground itself, in the 80's.

Used to have a couple of cold ones in the lewis Arms before we headed home. 

Never caused no grief there, though.  Or anywhere else, for that matter.

Ive heard all sorts of reasons for poor sleep over the years i used to go with the " clear conscience " theory on why id go through struggles with sleep but ive come to realise that you do catch up with the correct amount of sleep you just dont always get it when you want it.

I'm a shit sleeper, my brain dont seem to switch off... I sometimes fight to stay awake, its a weird feeling of not wanting to nod off... dunno why...

Im going to sound soppy as a sack now but have you ever tried them relaxing sound type sleep apps ?.....i always thought they was a load of nonsense but gave them a try and they actually did help......as you say though its only yourself that can switch your mind off and its not always easy.

Mrs brought me decent headphones for Christmas, I listen to random pod casts and drop off...but jump awake a bit later and lay there again...don't think pod casts are good though as they stimulate I suppose...

I'll give that a go cheers mate, my brother said the same so certainly worth a try

Dont go near the dripping tap ones or you'll just be jumping out the bed for a leak every 5 minutes ....but the soft tidal waves crashing in on a nice low volume have done the trick for me many a time...." quieting the mind " they call it.

in the doc`s again this morning to try and sort out pain relief, no real answers but have to stop one of the ones I take now, they suspect it`s fecking up my liver, don`t know what my options are, green did sod all, booze is not an option (see liver above), got a few morphine capsules but really don`t want to risk getting hooked on them, options???

They do work I just can’t have any background noise or who knows someone could be kicking the door in whilst im listening to whale noises

Tell you what tho some of the best nights sleep I have are when I’m fishing on my own on the lake.
