Terrible sleep

Hi everyone. So I’ve been struggling with sleep now for a just under a week. Averaging probably 5 hours when I’m usually averaging 8plus some nights. It’s causing me major anxiety and I have to kids look after. My husband is very supportive with waking up with kids but I feel so guilty. I’ve tried sleeping tablets from OTC that usually helps but not this time
. I suffer a lot with health anxiety and worried about what lack of sleep will do to my health and also my mental health. Just wondering if anyone is going through the same and any shared experiences will be great to hear. Thanks!!

Try magnesium. I take Nutrition Geeks 3 in 1 it really works!

Yeah I take magnesium. Them ones actually! I use to swear by it when I was sleeping well now not sleeping well it doesn’t work aswell. I think I’m just pretty sleep anxious at the moment and to fixated on the amount of hours I’m actually getting which is probably not healthy! Thanks for magnesium tip though :) x

I take the sleep bundle from Nutrition Geeks , that helps me . Also if I’m feeling wired and know I won’t sleep , I try and go for walk around 8pm for about 30 mins , the fresh air and the sleep bundle works a treat
