I think the reason I have more difficulty away from home is that I sometimes have no control of how dark I can make the room, the temperature of the room and unfamiliar sounds and too many sounds.

I think my bouts of sleeplessness at home come with job related stress which in turn triggers health related issues such as headaches, pain and digestive issues. I am an RN and right now at my age (64) the 12 hour shifts have become to rigorous. I plan to retire next March. Right now I am on a LOA and hopefully will not have to return.

When I start losing sleep the health issues exacerbate and then I cant sleep because of too much pain, a horrible cycle. Right now acupuncture is giving me some relief but its a slow process.
