My thoughts exactly. One thing I do regularly is keep a portable CD player in my bed and I listen to audio books or music when I can't sleep. Some of the folks who read the recorded books can put you to sleep with no problem. After Zoe died last week I did turn to a low dose of sleeping pill. I had mentioned that I was home form work with neck and back pain so I needed a very low dose of pain medication during the day. I did not sleep one night until 3am despite the medication but a nonaddictive low dose med may help you get back on track with sleep. Please let your doctor know the problem you are having and hopefully the doc is someone who understands grief.
I am so sorry for the pain you are having. It sounds as if you are alone and don't have any other pets. I can't find your original post to understand exactly what your situation is but I do thank you for posting the Auden poem.
