Why?!?!?!?
I have tried many sleep supplement formulas before. This is the first one I ever seen Citicoline in it. I will have to look into it. Thanks for putting up the link. I hope your sleep gets better for you. It is tough-- I know.Unisom is the brand name but every store has their own generic version.
My sleep schedule has been a mess lately. I've been getting to bed at 3 or 4 in the morning, and I have to get up at 6:45. So then I'm exhausted all day and take a nap when I get home from work which of course then makes me stay up later. . .ugh. Even if it is my natural schedule, that just doesn't work as long as I have to work, so I have to figure out how to reset it. I'm gonna try the doxylamine first, if that doesn't do it I'm going to try this one: Crash And Reboot
I’m sorry. I hope you can figure this out soon!! It’s so hard.Same here, BellaGooch. Night before last it was 5 a.m. when I turned in.
Thank you. That’s great advice that I will probably do. I am so glad to hear that you’re sleeping better! Praise God. That’s wonderful. Good for you for sticking to this. I hope that your sleep continues to improve.Hello BellaGooch It is so interesting that you put an update on this thread. I was just thinking of this thread, you, and the other members here who are struggling with sleep. I hope you can sucessful disengage from electronics before bedtime (at least 2 hours before b.t.) I was thinking that maybe you can listen to the Bible readings on an audible. That way your eyes aren't being strained. Also, maybe some soft instrumental Christian music would put your mind at ease. Pray and release your burdens to God and when you try to sleep(focus on being calm and think of pleasant things). I use to take GABA which is an Amino Acid that acts like a neurotransmitter. It may help with calming your mind. I think it helped me a bit. You can get it in health food stores. Speak with your doctor and see if that may be right for you.
I have been off my diet for a month and a half now. I lost 35 pounds and will go back on it in January to lose 25+ more pounds. My sleep has improved a little. I don't have too many nights where I get little to no sleep. My sleep is fragmented. I never sleep the whole night through. I think I am getting 4-5 hours a night. 7 to 8 hours seems out of reach for me still. I think the weight loss helped my sleep a bit. I am very strict about not eating after 8 pm. However, I heard eating a light snack before bed is okay.
Well I hope you and everyone else hangs in there. Insomia can be very frustrating to deal with. Lol, I lost sleep worrying over my insomia. Oh, the irony. Well take care. It is good to hear from you again.
That’s wonderful that you found something that works for you. I hope your sleep schedule continues to improve and that you can start getting to sleep on time.I'm sleeping ok now, still haven't managed to go to bed on time yet though, lol. But at least I can fall asleep quickly when I do go to bed. I tried a lot of OTC sleeping pills. Doxylamine succinate works great but gives me a wild hangover (Nyquil always did that but I thought it was the other ingredients, or just because I had a cold, guess not). Dipenhydramine works fine but I don't want to develop resistance for allergies. I got those Instasleep melts and they work pretty well but seem to always be out of stock. So I've mostly settled on 10mg of melatonin and some generic valerian. Maybe it's the placebo effect but it seems to help and shouldn't be harmful long-term.
I’m so sorry to hear that. hang in there, and I pray you get this figured out soon!BellaGooch hi ! i have to get my sleep times regulated soon cause i am not sleeping right
Enjoy your visit!!BellaGooch i am at mamanyt1953's house and so my schedule is a little off lol
Thank you! I’ve been busy so it’s been hard to consistently be active on all of the usual threads here, but I miss being so active in this sweet little community!I was just thinking about you, BellaGooch it was good to see you on the sight again. My sleep is better and naturally waking up around 9:30am or close. I've went back to work so I'm trying to get to bed by midnight and would just like to start my day earlier so I have a life.
Hope all of you get good rest. Sweet Dreams.
