To ask you about your sleep?

[SolarSystemic]

If you used to sleep badly and now sleep well, what helped? Is it light level, temperature, something you eat, a supplement, something you do or use or wear? What changed your sleep?

(if you’ve always been a great sleeper please don’t answer, I’m looking to try some things that might finally help me get the rest I really fucking need 😩)

I have ADHD and am in peri so I know those things affect my sleep, but I want to try a few different things to see if I can go from 3 hours to four or five or maybe even more!

Not perfect but some better nights , blackouts, magnesium, HRT , window open.
Headspace app

Snoozeband with inbuilt eye mask and no booze

I also have ADHD and take dexamfetamine.

What helps me sleep is melatonin and amitripyline.

No caffeine

Reduced/ no alcohol - I don't always manage this but am working on it. I have a Fitbit and the stats it gives me when I have had a drink are alarming.

Magnesium supplements

Regular bedtime

Reading before bed. I have a kindle, which is backlit so if I'm struggling to sleep I can open it up and read until sleepy again without disturbing DH.

Eye mask, £20 ear plugs and the husband getting a mouth guard that somewhat reduces his snoring.
