Hi, Jacki!

anjelhands is right!
If you can't seem to get 8-10 consecutive hours of sleep, naps will help tide you over until you do.

That's how I get by as I usually don't sleep more than 4 hours at a time. I've learned that if I can't get back to sleep within about 15 minutes that I may as well do something instead of worrying about it. Then I take a nap or two to get the hours in. I have sleep apnea & use a CPAP even during most of my naps so I can get into that deep, restorative sleep.

Hope this helps.

Anjelhands you have over 50 posts you can email doug and tell him which book you would like.

You could try taking 2-3 hour long, luxurious, restful, restorative "naps " 2-3 times every 24 hours to get enough hours of rest in.

SOON, I will be able to do this!!  Up till this week, even trying to rest or nap during the day has been impossible because of the restless legs going 24/7…  I think my Lyme doctor (of all people!!) figured out at least part of the problem though!  He said the Clonidine I was taking to help with the opiate withdrawal symptoms CAN cause INSOMNIA and restlessness!!  Everything I'd seen said it caused drowsiness…!  So he suggested I try leaving it off and sure enough I SLEPT last night!  So hopefully tonight will be the same

You could use crushed up pork rinds in place of the GG crisp bread if you don't have it.  Actually That is probably what I would use to begin with.  I don't usually have the GG's around.  also whenever I run across a recipe that calls for cream of mushroom soup I like to use alfredo sauce.  Bertolli's has a nice one that has mushrooms added in it...perfect for this    Maybe not exactly the same but I bet it would be delicious 

How much of the Alfredo Sauce would you use for each can of Cream of Mushroom soup? I'm finally going to try this!

I'm sorry Jacki but I have been MIA from the forum for a while and am just now seeing your question.  You might have to just mix some in and see what the consistency is.  The soup is a bit thicker because it's concentrated still when you mix it in so to not have a soupy mess I would start with half the amount of the soup and go from there

Thanks, TooSweet! I tried half a jar and it was pretty close! The only thing I didn't like is the pork rinds! I'm finding I just don't care for that taste or texture

Next time I have another idea! If it turns out, I'll share the recipe
