❤ When I go to bed at night, I purposely say in my head what I'm thankful for. If a negative thought comes in, I push it out and go back to thinking back to all my blessings. I've been doing it for over a year, and now it just comes naturally for me. Good Topic Nanny. ❤
I’m 78 yrs old. Previously when I’d wake during the night to go to the bathroom and couldn’t get back to sleep I’d also end up doing some chores. That had to stop! So I made myself go back and lie down instead, lights out, and I began to just simply say the Lord’s Prayer. Crazily enough it works for putting me back to sleep! Most of the time I know I haven’t even completed the whole prayer before I’ve “passed out” again! I say crazily because, to be honest, I don’t usually pray very much anymore otherwise. This works for me. It may take time and effort to come up with your own solution but just keep thinking at it. Don’t get frustrated and give up! Use your good mind and you’ll find your own solution.❤
Hi Nanny! I'm 77... I saw a sleep therapist within this past year. She asked me what I say to myself when I can't get sleepy and I'm lying in bed. I told her I say "I've got to try and get some sleep". She said that was wrong and showed I had anxiety. She advised me to do just what you said...get up and go do something quiet until I get sleepy and don't get in bed until I am sleepy. It's about conditioning your body to associate sleeping with your bed, and nothing else but sleeping. She even told me not to read in bed. (I haven't given that up but I don't read on a screen...just a regular book). But TH-cam has helped me a lot and you have too...I just watch you or someone else I love on our TV... and listen until I get sleepy. You are right...no computer screens before bed, and also going to bed at the same time and getting up at the same time every day is important. I'm a night owl so I stay up till about 12 a.m. and usually sleep till 8 a.m. It's all about your own circadian rhythm. Cutting out caffeine is something I have to work on...and including exercise on a more regular basis. You talked about such an important topic for us Goldens. Thank you so much!🥰❤
I sometimes have a cup of Sleepy Time tea. It doesn't necessarily let me sleep all night but gets me relaxed enough to get to sleep. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Nanny I have my rosary under my pillow at hand and begin reciting it..There are times I fall off without finishing, but usually by the time I'm finished, I'm relaxed and sleeping...
Nanny, I'm so glad you're speaking on this. I'm lucky if I get 4 or 5 hours a night. I start my day in a brain fog and lack energy all day. Thank you for the tips. Also, I'm suffering from dry mouth, I heard it comes as we age. Dry mouth is new to me, and it's extreme. Could you do a segment on this issue, please. Thank you, Nanny. I enjoy your channel ❤
I found out that not only does an xylitol gum help keep a healthy mouth but helps dry mouth and breath as well. I use Zellie's made in the USA and recommended by a dentist. I like the cinnamon flavor and it also comes in a mint if you don't like to chew gum.
Hi Nanny, I am like you with the difficulty of getting a good nights sleep! I am guilty (and a habit) of getting my iPad out and start reading a book that I have downloaded , sometimes I will read for several hours and I just can’t seem to break the habit! If I am lucky I sometimes fall asleep while reading 😂 I will try to take your advice and try not to read (although when I’ve tried not to read I end up just lying there for several hours waiting to fall asleep) I am 84 years old and in reasonable good health and so much enjoy you on my iPad . Thank you for taking the time to help make our senior years better.
reading is good if you’re reading a paper copy by lamplight. it’s the blue light from electronic devices that disrupts our sleep ability. my primary care nurse told me to go in 20 minute cycles: if i’ve laid awake for 20 minutes, get up and read for 20 minutes before heading back to bed. if you still don’t fall asleep for 20 minutes, repeat.
Nanny, think about laying in Jesus's arms while he's stroking your hair and holding you close safe and sound and ask him for a full night's rest.Because he loves you.I know he'll do that for you
Oh Nanny I forgot to tell you I always have had a lot of dreams I am Catholic, just like you My beloved Mother used to say when I woke up “make the sign of the Cross and turn on your other side” It always seemed to work I miss her so so much and she passed away in 1999 My husband passed away in 2007 But I have two wonderful sons and one beautiful grandson
Nanny, I’ve been meaning to tell you for some time now how I keep my mascara from transferring to my upper eyelid. I struggled with that as well and then I started using a blow dryer on my face as soon as I put on mascara. I just keep my eyes lowered and then wave it around my eyes and it works! It dries that mascara so it no longer transfers. Love your videos, you’re a national treasure ❤
I enjoyed this video so very much. I am 71 yrs old & my sleep is interrupted several times during the night. I’m a side sleeper . After being on my side for so long my hands & arms go to sleep which wakes me up to turn . I turn a lot during the night which disrupts my sleep . Linda
It’s so nice to see your videos and sharing your life’s ups and downs and your sleeping dilemma. Unfortunately it’s just too common and any age in life. I must confess I’ve been taking a prescription sleeping aid for years and it just works for me. I know it’s frowned upon but it’s the way it is. Thanks and may you have more sweet dreams in your future. ❤
Nanny, I do exactly what you are doing at night. A lot of mine is neck and hip pain. I do nap sometimes in the day for 30 minutes. But, I haven’t slept for 7 or 8 years straight for probably 40 years or more. I wish I had your energy Nanny. You do a lot. Just getting in the car and doing errands, is a lot. I’m too tired to do that half of the time. I need to get some more collagen powder and be consistent with it. Stay cool nanny ❤
I Luv U Nanny. Even when you go into a video saying you have so many questions... I just get a wealth of information from you. I'm 70 & I hope when I get to be 86, I will still be able to research & retain information like you do. I have severe scoliosis and have debilitating back pain. Which makes sleeping almost impossible. It has gotten so much worst in the last yr and is now affecting my neck and causing severe headaches. But you are so cheerful & lately so energized that you are delightful to listen to.. no matter the subject. It is almost my bedtime & I am so much happier from watching you. I bet I'll even sleep better tonite from just watching this. You bring so much joy to so many of us. Thank you Nanny. ... gt
Nanny, I’m 67 end of July, and my sleep patern was realy bad, but since retiyaring last July it’s getting better now no worries, clear head, the warmer weather helps with our old bones, I suffer with syatica, but prescient I’m pain free, so that helps my sleep now, as I couldn’t get comfy then, so it’s nice to know there’s other people in the same boat. I live near Scotland Gretna green, and not far from the Lakedistrict.
My mom takes a mild sleeping tablet every night, has done for about 25 years. She sleeps really well. I'm sure some say it's not good for you, but she's 94 so I'm not sure how good or bad they are! x
Hi Nanny, I wear a Fitbit watch that will monitor sleep cycles among other things. Any digital watch will do it if you want to use one. It’s very helpful. 😊Margaret
Magnesium Glycinate is very good! Helps you relax. I take one about 1/2 hour before bed!. It seems to work for me! Thank you, Nanny, for doing this video! I also have to get up and use the bathroom at least twice each night. Sometimes it is hard to go right back to sleep. 😮Love to you and MOOSIE🌼🌸🌺
When I wake up at night and can't go back to sleep I will put my earbuds in and turn on an audiobook. My husband usually has old movies/TV shows on the TV through the night which usually does not bother me too much. I do exercise daily and go to bed at a regular time. We pretty much have a routine, we watch TV at night which makes me sleepy. I always count my blessings and pray in the evening as well. I usually take Melatonin before bed as well.
Wise advice/ tips Nanny thankfully I am still blessed with the ability to go to sleep within minutes and sleep well [except for toilet breaks lol] but I can get over again quickly. Love the pig tails - stay fabulous Nanny - Love Jas xx
Good conversation Nanny….i wake up 3x to go to the bathroom without turning on any lights, go back and usually fall back to sleep easily…occasionally I wake up around 4 and can’t go back to sleep until maybe 5/5:30. I usually go to sleep after 10 and by 11. Depends on what I’m watching on TV in bed and wake up 6:30/7. I’m 85 and wish I didn’t need so many bathroom breaks now!! I usually never need a nap during the day…so guess I’m getting enough sleep…thanks for all the information❤️
Wonderful!.🥰 Thank you Nanny, I also have a battle with my sleep...🥱 My daughter bought "Valeriana" Valerian root for night. It smells bad but works quite well. And I got a bedtime tea too. ❤ Its so hot for being up here in the north of Sweden.. So I have my fans on, all the time 😊 Love from me to you ❤
Oh yes I am with you and the rest of you...haha...I am doing laundry now!!!! My whole family were nite owls. Grandmom played Bingo and I would wait till she got home with 8 kids in a small house I slept with her and she would give herself and me a shot of sweet grape Mogen David wine and we both were knocked out...haha!! She was the greatest she was my pal and I was her sidekick. I worked in her beauty shop called Nellie's and I saved my money in a cigar box and then we went to Atlantic City and played the Chance Wheels on the Steel Pier...I truly lived my life in reverse. She went on to live to 90s and still was in good health. She was my greatest gift. She enjoyed her nite owl life...and me too . Enjoy, Nanny
Nanny, this was a very timely video...had very few hours last night😢! I LOVE your pigtails! Also the lighter eye makeup! During summer, my mascara seems to transfers to under eyes🤨so I a lighter touch also. Sleep well my friend❤
Nanny I have had a cough for two weeks I am under Dr.care but the coughing. is not too bad now but your. Right ,when you have your sleep you can deal with pain of back knees ect. Got have that sleep. Blessing to you all nanny . 🌹🙏🌹👏👍
I started taking magnesium ( on my nightstand) as soon as I get in bed for the past couple of months and have pretty much gotten about 5-6 hours now but with 1 or 2 bathroom calls…this is actually quite an improvement for me. I’m hoping it continues.
Good morning Nanny! All good sleep ideas. My husband and I usually hold hands and say The Lord's prayer before bed. Very calming and relaxing. I dream every night so I think that is in Rem sleep. Unless I have something I'm excited or concerned about, I get good sleep every night. I've always been a "sleeper" tho. I do practice those things you mentioned, or most of them. Thanks for your input because sleep is such an important issue.☕✝️🥰
Thank you for discussing this topic Nanny. It think a lot of women and some men can really relate to this. What do you do if your partner uses a cop machine and he and the machine make noise. Very challenging! Sweet dreams one and all😴💤🙏❤️
Nanny- Thank you for this video! Glad to know I’m not the only one that sometimes, has trouble getting back to sleep, after a bathroom visit. I take a magnesium Glycinate. It really helps me relax and fall asleep. Magnesium is good for you. Anyway, we are having a hot spell in Oregon right now, so that sometimes, makes it hard to sleep. You are the Best! Love to you and Moosie!🌼🌸🌺
I have struggled with fragmented sleep for years. I sometimes neglect to do many of the good things that would help my sleep. I have always been a night owl which is really difficult when your husband is an early riser 7 days a week. My husband has never slept late in his life. Fragmented sleep was a big problem for me during my working years; however since my retirement I just sleep when I can-thankfullyI don’t have a set schedule anymore. My biggest challenge is shutting my mind down to get to sleep-once I get to sleep, I will usually sleep from four to six hours and feel very rested when I wake up. So yes!!! I can certainly relate to your sleep issues!!!!!
I make Californian poppy tincture and it helps me to sleep. It's none addictive and cheap to make. I find all cotton sheets are the best for sleep. TY ❤.
Interesting topic on today's video. I'm a night owl and am always trying to get to bed before midnight. I sleep about 5-6 hours before I am up for a potty break. Then usually back to bed for another two hours. My tips for getting to sleep are taking 150-200mg of Magnesium Glycinate sometime in the evening, an hour or so before bed. Might check with your doctor as it can also lower your blood pressure. It helps with anxiety also. Another thing that works for me is deep breathing. Inhale through your nose for eight counts, hold for seven counts, exhale through your mouth for eight counts. Do this four -six times. Also can lower blood pressure and anxiety. These almost always work , but if all else fails I say my prayers. Always works. I remember my mom used to say think about how cozy you feel in your bed. You did what you could with the day. Start fresh the next day. I sometimes take an afternoon nap, and seems to help with energy level heading into the evening hours. It's nice to have a good pillow. Chamomile tea?Thank you for the video. Take care and enjoy your weekend.MJ♥️🦉😴💤🐑🛏️🥤🌼🫖🙏🛌
Nanny, I have a Kindle called the paper white. It has no blue light effect on you. It’s the only thing I allow myself to look at in the evenings and it makes a big difference. I went thru a battle with insomnia and discovered that a weighted eye mask helped me fall asleep quickly and stay asleep after bathroom trips. I also wear earplugs because hubby has a snore😂 that also kept me up. I had both knees replaced last year and am finally able to sleep without the constant pain.
To calm down before bed is when I take my magnesium gluconate to reduce stress and relax my mind at the end of the day. It works. It's a great stress reliever ❤
I agree, my hand is up! My sleep is terrible. I bought a grounding pad for my bed. The grounding pad seems to have relieved my pain while I’m on the bed., which allows me to sleep better. Try one out, it might work for you.
I love using collagen also and got my husband to use it too. I think the best thing that helps me with any joint pain is "Terry Naturally Cura Med Superior Absorption Curcumin" 375mg. Taking it for years now and haven't gotten any arthritis yet in my 80's. Love all the good suggestions for sleeping, thank you Nanny. ps: you look adorable today.
If you want to read on your iPad, turn it on to dark background. It solves the light issue that can keep us awake. And Just don’t read a tremendously interesting book!😊
Good morning Nanny and Moose. I loved to listen to you about difficulties in sleep. There is a thing that I don’t have at all. I go to bed after seeing television by midnight and I sleep till 8/9 in the morning, and I am now 75 years old. My Mother and Father were the same. So, could it be genetic? And if I have a problem, and I don’t want to think about? I sleep!! Love you Nanny. God bless you all.
Short of taking prescription drugs for sleep, try taking regular benadryl but not the non drowsy kind. It works. For some reason, as we age, we have sleep issues. Sleep is really important to me as that's the only time that I dont feel pain. I also use 15 mg of melatonin as well.
Nanny, You are a howl I laughed so much with your sleep video 😂 There were so many things that one guy had on his list I got tired just listening to that list You are a very busy girl Nanny so don’t worry about your sleeping issues I am the same as you My problem is I read in bed for hours and doze off ….then I wake up and I go back to sleep So I don’t know if I am having enough REM or regular sleep 😴 or whatever You are perfect the way you are Nanny I think you look absolutely beautiful I do love that iced amethyst lipstick on you Stop with the sleeping hints because before you know it all those nutty hints will keep you up I always say it, but I’ll say it again : I love ❤️ you Take care of yourself Barbara
I generally get good enough sleep but when I get insomnia it lasts for a week or more and I’m exhausted. I have a routine: warm milk and melatonin before bed, then an audio book with the timer set to 30 minutes. I pick my books by the narrator’s soothing voice with an interesting plot but no heart thumping chases or vivid murders. Generally I’m asleep before the book turns off. Also my husband and I sleep in separate rooms because I go to bed around 10 and he around 12:30am.
Hi Nanny! I never get long stretches of sleep . Never have. I have to have sound in the background. I listen to old episodes of Leave It To Beaver or the Golden Girls every night.😮No wonder I have trouble sleeping!! I will try the banana thing tonight… can’t hurt… right?? Thank you for all of the great videos ❤❤
I missed the name of your concealer, could you please share it. It really does a good job. Love your videos. I notice if I take a couple Tylenol Arthritis before I go to bed, I rest much better.
Hi Nanny ... I loved the story about the man who purposely set up the routine to get the perfect night's sleep for several months. What I'm wondering about is the state of his wife. I can just see a frazzled, sleep deprived and tired wife! ♥️ Taller Teresa
Love this video. I go to bed at 9 and until 10:30 on my kindle. Then I wake up from 3 am on. Regularly by 4:30. I have to nap about 1 pm each day. I’m 72 and I think stress is my main deterrent to sleep. My brother passed on July 8 after a brief illness & that has disrupted my sleep.
❤❤❤ You look hot with your dodger’s shirt and your pigtails Nanny, therefore take the admiring look from those men as a compliment!!! Your whole demeanor gives this energetic vibe from you today, Nanny. You can tell that you had good sleep last night. ❤❤❤
Greetings Nanny! I have horrible restless leg syndrome and it drives me absolutely insane at night. I've tried everything I know of to no avail. Agghh!! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Hi Mary Ellen ,l wake up about every hour ,and it’s so frustrating.not to say how tired l get from not being able to sleep .but l have chronic pain in my body ,and l am nearly 82 ,so l guess ,this is what happens to some people .l hope you can improve your sleep .🥰
I have to pee& then get up& am thirsty as well. It's your medication I have always been an early riser / that's because of my working.I don't always follow the eating rule.Living in Florida now it's 100 outside...& I have no discs.76 yrs old today.🎉😊..I woke up..& am blessed to do that. Hey..you are a nice looking woman..😂❤
Yep…I long for those days when I’d crawl into bed, fall asleep and not wake up for 8 hours. Sigh…I’m lucky to get 6 hours of sleep and it’s never a solid sleep. PS…you are so cute in your pig tails and Dodger shirt.
Nanny, I have purchased the Revlon Iced Amethyst but it does not have the same shine your lips have once I put it on. Do you add anything after applying the lipstick?
My cat keeps me from sleeping good. Love him so much but he sleeps a lot in the day and wants me up with him at night. I drink sips of water in evening and go to bathroom 3 times in the night at least. I used to sleep so good before cats😂. When I sleep I sleep real good but being woke up by your pet isn't so good.😊
Well, I take my bedtime cues from Father Fitzgibbon. Remember him from Going My Way? Drinking a couple glasses of sherry before bed? I fill my bedside shotglass once or twice with my favorite libationand before you know it, that Nyquil has me knocked out!
🌹🌹🌹 Nanny, I wanted to tell you if you or one of your kids has a Costco membership that the original collagen powder that you told me about and I’ve been taking now for over a year that’s helped you and me with our Arthritis so much the vital proteins collagen peptides. It is on sale at Costco right now. and also I’ve double check the prices on Amazon and Costco and the new one that you Colleen told you about it’s a lot higher than the vital protein brand

Most all of us are deficient in magnesium and it is very good for inducing sleep, specifically magnesium glycinate. A few other ladies mentioned this.

@@patsy6589 Thank you so much. I will try that! 🙂
To get to sleep I thank God for the day, etc, then I pray the Lord's prayer. If I'm still awake I recite Psalm 23. I rarely make it to the end.

Grandmom played Bingo and I would wait till she got home with 8 kids in a small house I slept with her and she would give herself and me a shot of sweet grape Mogen David wine and we both were knocked out...haha!! She was the greatest she was my pal and I was her sidekick. I worked in her beauty shop called Nellie's and I saved my money in a cigar box and then we went to Atlantic City and played the Chance Wheels on the Steel Pier...I truly lived my life in reverse. She went on to live to 90s and still was in good health. She was my greatest gift. She enjoyed her nite owl life...and me too . Enjoy, Nanny
What a fantastic Grandmom you had,my friend…and thanks for sharing those wonderful memories.❤️🥰
@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose Your Welcome Nanny, love Mary.
I did really learn something about sleep! I can't wait to see how you progress! what a great video!! thank you, hello to Moose Have a wonderful day!
Great vlog,Nanny! I struggle with sleep also,so thank you for these tips!❤
Nanny, this was a very timely video...had very few hours last night😢!
I LOVE your pigtails! Also the lighter eye makeup! During summer, my mascara seems to transfers to under eyes🤨so I a lighter touch also.
Sleep well my friend❤

Thank you for a very informative and important video!!❤❤
I started taking magnesium ( on my nightstand) as soon as I get in bed for the past couple of months and have pretty much gotten about 5-6 hours now but with 1 or 2 bathroom calls…this is actually quite an improvement for me. I’m hoping it continues.
Happy weekend Nanny and Moose.from the Netherlands.😊
I've been adding 2 scoops of Vitauthority Collagen to my half-caff coffee every morning for the past few years....Really does work!! ❤
I've been using 2 scoops of Vitauthority Collagen in my half-caff coffee every morning for 3 years now. Really does work!!!
Good morning Nanny! All good sleep ideas. My husband and I usually hold hands and say The Lord's prayer before bed. Very calming and relaxing. I dream every night so I think that is in Rem sleep. Unless I have something I'm excited or concerned about, I get good sleep every night. I've always been a "sleeper" tho. I do practice those things you mentioned, or most of them. Thanks for your input because sleep is such an important issue.☕✝️🥰
Thanks for sharing, Lolly.❤️
I take an afternoon cat nap!!! Sometimes don’t really fall asleep but the rest gives me a kick for ready to go again!! Thank you Nanny.
Thank you for discussing this topic Nanny. It think a lot of women and some men can really relate to this. What do you do if your partner uses a cop machine and he and the machine make noise. Very challenging! Sweet dreams one and all😴💤🙏❤️
Love you Nanny. So look forward to your videos.
Nanny- Thank you for this video! Glad to know I’m not the only one that sometimes, has trouble getting back to sleep, after a bathroom visit. I take a magnesium Glycinate. It really helps me relax and fall asleep. Magnesium is good for you. Anyway, we are having a hot spell in Oregon right now, so that sometimes, makes it hard to sleep. You are the Best! Love to you and Moosie!🌼🌸🌺
❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you Nanny for all your good advice love from IRELAND 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have struggled with fragmented sleep for years. I sometimes neglect to do many of the good things that would help my sleep. I have always been a night owl which is really difficult when your husband is an early riser 7 days a week. My husband has never slept late in his life. Fragmented sleep was a big problem for me during my working years; however since my retirement I just sleep when I can-thankfullyI don’t have a set schedule anymore. My biggest challenge is shutting my mind down to get to sleep-once I get
to sleep, I will usually sleep from four to six hours and feel very rested when I wake up. So yes!!! I can certainly relate to your sleep issues!!!!!
I make Californian poppy tincture and it helps me to sleep. It's none addictive and cheap to make. I find all cotton sheets are the best for sleep. TY ❤.
Interesting topic on today's video. I'm a night owl and am always trying to get to bed before midnight. I sleep about 5-6 hours before I am up for a potty break. Then usually back to bed for another two hours. My tips for getting to sleep are taking 150-200mg of Magnesium Glycinate sometime in the evening, an hour or so before bed. Might check with your doctor as it can also lower your blood pressure. It helps with anxiety also. Another thing that works for me is deep breathing. Inhale through your nose for eight counts, hold for seven counts, exhale through your mouth for eight counts. Do this four -six times. Also can lower blood pressure and anxiety. These almost always work , but if all else fails I say my prayers. Always works. I remember my mom used to say think about how cozy you feel in your bed. You did what you could with the day. Start fresh the next day. I sometimes take an afternoon nap, and seems to help with energy level heading into the evening hours. It's nice to have a good pillow. Chamomile tea?Thank you for the video. Take care and enjoy your weekend.MJ♥️🦉😴💤🐑🛏️🥤🌼🫖🙏🛌
Love your mom’s advice,MJ…Hugs,❤️
Good advice!!! I’ve been known to do housework when I wake up at 4 in the am.
Nanny i’m right there with you’ but always been that way. I think my dad was the same. enjoy you soo much!! 🤗
❤ I really appreciate this topic
Nanny, I have a Kindle called the paper white. It has no blue light effect on you. It’s the only thing I allow myself to look at in the evenings and it makes a big difference. I went thru a battle with insomnia and discovered that a weighted eye mask helped me fall asleep quickly and stay asleep after bathroom trips. I also wear earplugs because hubby has a snore😂 that also kept me up. I had both knees replaced last year and am finally able to sleep without the constant pain.
I wonder if all kindles are blue light free, Rita❤️
@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose Idont think the ones with color screens are. It’s the Paper white model.
To calm down before bed is when I take my magnesium gluconate to reduce stress and relax my mind at the end of the day. It works. It's a great stress reliever ❤
I agree, my hand is up! My sleep is terrible. I bought a grounding pad for my bed. The grounding pad seems to have relieved my pain while I’m on the bed., which allows me to sleep better. Try one out, it might work for you.
My hand is raised!!
I love using collagen also and got my husband to use it too. I think the best thing that helps me with any joint pain is "Terry Naturally Cura Med Superior Absorption Curcumin" 375mg. Taking it for years now and haven't gotten any arthritis yet in my 80's. Love all the good suggestions for sleeping, thank you Nanny.
ps: you look adorable today.
If you want to read on your iPad, turn it on to dark background. It solves the light issue that can keep us awake. And Just don’t read a tremendously interesting book!😊
Screen time keeps you up!!!!!
Good morning Nanny and Moose. I loved to listen to you about difficulties in sleep. There is a thing that I don’t have at all. I go to bed after seeing television by midnight and I sleep till 8/9 in the morning, and I am now 75 years old. My Mother and Father were the same. So, could it be genetic? And if I have a problem, and I don’t want to think about? I sleep!! Love you Nanny. God bless you all.
Wow! That’s wonderful, FERNIE! God bless you, too, my friend!🙏❤️
Short of taking prescription drugs for sleep, try taking regular benadryl but not the non drowsy kind. It works. For some reason, as we age, we have sleep issues. Sleep is really important to me as that's the only time that I dont feel pain. I also use 15 mg of melatonin as well.
Thank you Nanny and Moose. In case I forgot Happy Anniversary you two.
Nanny,
You are a howl
I laughed so much with your sleep video 😂
There were so many things that one guy had on his list I got tired just listening to that list
You are a very busy girl Nanny so don’t worry about your sleeping issues
I am the same as you
My problem is I read in bed for hours and doze off ….then I wake up and I go back to sleep
So I don’t know if I am having enough REM or regular sleep 😴 or whatever
You are perfect the way you are Nanny
I think you look absolutely beautiful
I do love that iced amethyst lipstick on you
Stop with the sleeping hints because before you know it all those nutty hints will keep you up
I always say it, but I’ll say it again :
I love ❤️ you
Take care of yourself
Barbara
😂😂I love you ,too, Barbara…❤️
When I can't sleep at night I pray.
I generally get good enough sleep but when I get insomnia it lasts for a week or more and I’m exhausted. I have a routine: warm milk and melatonin before bed, then an audio book with the timer set to 30 minutes. I pick my books by the narrator’s soothing voice with an interesting plot but no heart thumping chases or vivid murders. Generally I’m asleep before the book turns off. Also my husband and I sleep in separate rooms because I go to bed around 10 and he around 12:30am.
Hi Nanny! I never get long stretches of sleep . Never have. I have to have sound in the background. I listen to old episodes of Leave It To Beaver or the Golden Girls every night.😮No wonder I have trouble sleeping!! I will try the banana thing tonight… can’t hurt… right?? Thank you for all of the great videos ❤❤
Interesting topic nanny 😮 thankyou😊❤xoxo
Happy Anniversary love!!
It seems everybody that I talk too gets lousy sleep, so this is a perfect topic, Nanny. :) Magnesium Glycinate works for me.
Absolutely ready!!!
I've noticed that tubing mascara doesn't quite do the job for me either. Need the kind with bristles that have some of that clumpy stuff.😉
I missed the name of your concealer, could you please share it. It really does a good job. Love your videos. I notice if I take a couple Tylenol Arthritis before I go to bed, I rest much better.
I didn’t use a concealer, Carol….i used the new light weight foundation…ELF’S Soft Glam…on my whole face…it’s wonderful! Thanks for commenting.❤️
@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose Thank you for letting me know.
I did my running around errands early this am as well. Just had bluerry cereal now 1pm
I've recently found a sleep mask helps a lot.
Hand up......BIG Wave to you and Moose 😊❤🎉
Hi Nanny ... I loved the story about the man who purposely set up the routine to get the perfect night's sleep for several months. What I'm wondering about is the state of his wife. I can just see a frazzled, sleep deprived and tired wife! ♥️ Taller Teresa
Love your lipstick 🥰
I'm with you ❤
Love this video. I go to bed at 9 and until 10:30 on my kindle. Then I wake up from 3 am on. Regularly by 4:30. I have to nap about 1 pm each day. I’m 72 and I think stress is my main deterrent to sleep. My brother passed on July 8 after a brief illness & that has disrupted my sleep.
I am so sorry that you lost your brother,Annette..❤️🙏
I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻
@@vallang4832 thank you. It has been devastating to us.
Many exercise , mind control and diet Suga is bad for arthritis!!!
That gas been my expirence.
Good buy for now and God bless both of you❤❤❤❤
look into 'mouth taping' really works for better sleep
What collagen do you take thank you so much nanny and God bless you both
My fave is the Vital Protein Collagen Powder, Daphne…❤️
Bingo...WE hear ya ❣️
❤❤❤ You look hot with your dodger’s shirt and your pigtails Nanny, therefore take the admiring look from those men as a compliment!!!
Your whole demeanor gives this energetic vibe from you today, Nanny. You can tell that you had good sleep last night. ❤❤❤
Greetings Nanny! I have horrible restless leg syndrome and it drives me absolutely insane at night. I've tried everything I know of to no avail. Agghh!! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
My daughter Dub does, too,Jean…but the doctor has her on something…I’ll ask her.check back!❤️
@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose Thank you so much Nanny!! ♥️🙏
Oh my...I am so sorry!! I get that often too, and it is terrible, Yes, you are correct, it does drive one insane!
I take my silver vitamins & probiotics at night& rest of meds & vitamins in a.m. Nanny..thank you for being real& being funny as well.❤
In settings there is a blue light filter to set on phones or ipads
Hi Mary Ellen ,l wake up about every hour ,and it’s so frustrating.not to say how tired l get from not being able to sleep .but l have chronic pain in my body ,and l am nearly 82 ,so l guess ,this is what happens to some people .l hope you can improve your sleep .🥰
I have to pee& then get up& am thirsty as well. It's your medication I have always been an early riser / that's because of my working.I don't always follow the eating rule.Living in Florida now it's 100 outside...& I have no discs.76 yrs old today.🎉😊..I woke up..& am blessed to do that. Hey..you are a nice looking woman..😂❤
Thanks,Sheila..❤️
Nanny..didn’t you change brands of collagen last month? Wondering if the new brand is doing you better??
I think I prefer my original Vital Protein Collagen better…someone said it has more of all the goodies you need in it❤️
I agree!!!!
Lovely video
Yep…I long for those days when I’d crawl into bed, fall asleep and not wake up for 8 hours. Sigh…I’m lucky to get 6 hours of sleep and it’s never a solid sleep. PS…you are so cute in your pig tails and Dodger shirt.
Nanny, I have purchased the Revlon Iced Amethyst but it does not have the same shine your lips have once I put it on. Do you add anything after applying the lipstick?
Yes,I always put my L’Oreal Highlighter Glow on top! ❤️
@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose is L’Oreal Highlighter Glow a lipstick? If so what is the number?
My cat keeps me from sleeping good. Love him so much but he sleeps a lot in the day and wants me up with him at night. I drink sips of water in evening and go to bathroom 3 times in the night at least. I used to sleep so good before cats😂. When I sleep I sleep real good but being woke up by your pet isn't so good.😊
Thank. You.😊
Well, I take my bedtime cues from Father Fitzgibbon. Remember him from Going My Way? Drinking a couple glasses of sherry before bed? I fill my bedside shotglass once or twice with my favorite libationand before you know it, that Nyquil has me knocked out!
🌹🌹🌹 Nanny, I wanted to tell you if you or one of your kids has a Costco membership that the original collagen powder that you told me about and I’ve been taking now for over a year that’s helped you and me with our Arthritis so much the vital proteins collagen peptides. It is on sale at Costco right now. and also I’ve double check the prices on Amazon and Costco and the new one that you Colleen told you about it’s a lot higher than the vital protein brand
Thanks,Pamela…we are members…I really do like the Vital Protein Collagen the best ,I think…thanks.❤️
