Mounjaro and sleep

4 replies

trulybee · 16/08/2024 05:55

I've been on Mounjaro for two weeks and noticed that I don't sleep as well. I am averaging about 5.30 a night as keep waking early and in the night. Has anyone else experienced this?

Same here. Been on MJ for 6 weeks and most nights are disturbed. Since stepping up to 5ml, I've spent more time awake at night than asleep. I'm hoping someone will be along with advice on how to improve things.

I think this is common on GLP’s I didn’t sleep well on Wegovy either
it only improved when I stopped, sorry I don’t have any tips

I have found this with wegovy too. Takes me ages to fall asleep and then I wake frequently in the night.

This was a real problem for me when I started. It may not be related to Mounjaro itself (or any other GLP1 medication), but rather weight loss in general (see this article ) I certainly found the same issue when doing the Fast 800 a few years ago. Some people report that taking magnesium helps them to sleep.
