    Hey there A. I have gone through the same thing. I also know this is temporary---it was for me anyhow. I was on 37.5 for 3 months and was just boosted up to 75 yesterday. I fully expected that though. I've learned that for me this is like a storm and I have to just ride it out. Enjoy your day and smile a lot. Thats helps too!!!!!!

      I do use radio on with headphones and find that I get off to sleep regularly this way - it is also helpful if I wake early but need more body rest
