@Kavaguy that's a lot of root!
@Halibut_Acid I've got a nightly 2am internal combat alarm that has been with me this past decade. if i ignore it and sleep on not so good things result and I've developed a couple interventions this past few years to avoid that disturbing dark night. one is a shift to very light sleep where i move into an awareness that I'm dreaming and can interact, do things differently, change details and outcomes. the other option has been i pace, until exhausted, usually 2-3 hours, checking yard and shop, doors and windows secure, etc
probably pace 2x as often as i can pull off an aware in dreamscape night.
and the pace nights are what used to be time of much smoking (tobacco and cannibis) and a few ounces glass of tequila, x2-3.
Then came Mahakea (and later Nene) as an even better option that by New Years 2020 I'd fully clung to for quietting mind and restoring a piece of peace allowing me to safely drift off into a rest-filled night. Two shells and a couple puffs of cannabis and the world is no longer a hostile place.
needless to say, Kava (or rather 'Awa in my preferences) has been a huge help for me, especially in the circumstances you mention this topic.
Be well friend, and enjoy the dark night Bula!
