Sleep

[hillcrest]

Personally, I prefer to drink melatonin and then I have a deep sleep. I used to try to walk in the evening but I don’t always want to leave the house.

I’ll suffer in silence then.
Had enough trouble getting off tramadol for a lifetime.

There are other options...or so I'm told.

Do you get any IBS like symptoms? I was sure I had RLS but now I'm not so sure. I read that there was a variant of IBS that causes anxiety, and on impulse, I checked my stomach muscles in the middle of the night and the morning. They were rock solid. Like bone. I massage them gently every day now,, also took some advice off the how to sit when you have a poo thread, and things are a bit better. I still get crazy mental stuff as I fall asleep, and usually find myself wide awake just as I drop off, but it's a lot less uncomfortable.

I sleep 4-6 hrs a night with the average about 5 and a qurter mostly, if I sleep any more I feel knackered/letgargic the rest of the day.

But those 4-6 hrs are a nice deep sleep, I don't have many restless nights.

Have you looked at your blood sugar level? If you eat a wedge of sugar a day that could be an issue, especially if eating sugary/carby food in the evening.

Why You’re Getting High Blood Sugar at Night and What to Do About It

High blood sugar at night can severely affect your sleep. Manage blood sugar throughout the day and turn to low-carb, low-sugar snacks at night.

And the amount of caffeine if you're in a vicious cycle of not getting enough sleep and so drinking coffee/tea throughout the day, possibly with a spoonful(s) of sugar in too.

Not slept properly for past few weeks due to back/sciatica problems, so last night I took a few night nurse, they proper knock me out, had a good 8 hours last night, although the side effects is i feel a little bit rough as I normally do when I take them but my body feels a bit more rested. Hopefully getting some decency CBD oil in next few weeks to try.

You don’t have to worry about a bad pillow or making your bed then, just stay by the front door fully dressed and you’re away in the morning!

I’ve probably had about 5-6 really decent and restful sleeps in the past 15 years, the best thing I ever took though was the original GABA ( Gamma-aminobutyric acid) you could get (before they removed it from the shelves) , that was brilliant stuff.

Worst thing I’ve found is caffeine, think I’m, like many, just very sensitive to it, sleep better if I stop all intake around 1pm.
