@lizzard I've come to realize I can start sleeping way easier with some children's radio play on. Then it took me decades to realize this: if I wake up in the middle of the night, I can turn the same audio book on again. If I do this quickly I can do this before my mind is taking over completely and I'm sleeping within 2 minutes again.
On normal bad nights I do this once, usually around 4am as well, on bad bad nights this can repeat several times... but every time it works.

@jesterchen I was going to say something similar: (I'm not sutistic, but also keep waking up around that time and my mind won't shut up:) I put on a podcast (or an audiobook). I set the volume so I can just listen to it and I concentrate on listening. I don't choose anything I really want to listen to, nothing exciting. Good luck! (Oh, and when I had the same problem a couple of years ago, it would help if I drank a large glass of water!) @lizzard
