Fuck off insomnia !!!

[PromQueenDiamond]

Fucking hate it !!

It’s horrible OP.
Do you know what’s causing it?

Me too. I don't know how I function most days. Just used to it I suppose. The stress and worry about not sleeping makes it worse.

Same…

Stress and maybe peri menopause

Snap, been like this for years. My alarm is set for 7am but now I want to sleep!!

I use cbd oil on mild insomnia nights which works.
Or 5thp on really bad nights but that makes you have vivid dreams not nightmares so far and I get a bit sweaty. So I save that for desperate times.

HRT sorted mine out - and it was pretty bad. How old are you?

Yeah snap but stress related. First day back at work and not sure how I am going to cope!

...don't take 5HTP if you already take an SSRI type antidepressant. I made that mistake and gave myself serotonin syndrome!

How do you use it? I've some I bought for my dads cancer treatment which he never even got a chance to open before he died (another layer of my stress).

Just a few shirts under the tongue at bed time. I use love cbd online not stuff from Holland and barter etc. It seems to work. Also calms me down when feeling anxious. Not hugely but takes the edge off.

I'm not on antideps so that's ok with the zz5htp

I suffer the same fate sadly... no clue how to get better at sleeping

Wouldn’t mind trying some cannabis oil

Try a magnesium supplememt.

I second the Magnesium supplement - it has transformed my sleep after years of insomnia (also stress/menopause related). I'd read the research years ago on the benefits, wish I'd started sooner!

Get the strongest you can afford, I recommend Mag Enhance from Intelligent Labs.

Magnesium threonate helps me get to sleep.
It doesn’t stop the early wake ups when I have PMT unfortunately.

Do you exercise? My sleep drastically improved after I started to do workouts at home.

And maybe a mindfulness app for the stress?

I also find that drinking affects my quality of sleep

ladt night I was absolutely shattered after a really busy, non stop week and weekend.
yet I was still awake at 2,3,4 and just lay there until 7 when I got up.

So I have been awake all night going into another really busy week with little chance of catching up.
move a 12 hour day ahead of me today too.

It’s miserable.

Already take Magnesium threonate
worked well for about a week then nothing

Although I still take it

Yep tried calm and clementine
didn’t relalt work much for me but I still keep trying

I fall asleep easily but wake up a few times a night.

I can't take HRT anymore. I've tried CBD oil & that didn't work.

I now listen to boring podcasts, headphone in one ear and I put it on timer. Sends me back to sleep, works 9 times out of 10.
