I went to my doctor as I am suffering from Insomnia. She gave me some low dosage anti depressants which I wasn't too happy about taking as one of the side effects of coming off them was insomnia. I didn't like them as they made my mouth dry and felt dizzy. I stopped taking them as if there is a natural alternative I would prefer to do it that way. I was also increasing the dosage as they were not as effective as when I first started taking them.
I started restricted sleeping last week and I can see an improvement I am now getting around 5 hours sleep. I wake up at 7 am for work which means I go to bed at 1 am but it still takes me an hour to get to sleep but a big improvement on before. Does anyone know how long it will take to get back to my usual pattern of 8 hours? I am not stressed and always slept really well so not sure why this has been happening for the last 4 months.
TIA
