Bit of background: For the past 15 years or so, I've been an insomniac. Problems got so bad recently that I was at the end of my tether. On an average night, I might get 4 hours of broken sleep. Normally two to start them the rest in small chunks with big periods of wakefulness in between.
Tried every sleeping aid, many different prescription drugs too. Lovely GP was about to refer for CBT.
Read about links to aspartame and insomnia online and decided it might be worth a shot. Not easy as it's used in do many products. I'm doing Slimming World so I was eating quite a lot in Muller Lights, Diet Coke etc.
I've given up both for 6 weeks now and it's been a revelation! I get about 7 hours now, maybe awake once or twice for wees and then back to sleep. I can't believe after suffering for so long it's been something that I can change so easily!
Just thought I'd share incase there's anyone else out there who could try it.
