I’ve been struggling with sleep for nearly 2 years now. Sometimes I can’t get to sleep at all, other times I’ll wake up and go back to sleep, or I’ll even go to sleep and not go back to sleep.
Has anyone got any tips and tricks with sleeping that’s worked for them?
Look into CBD. Changed my life I’ve always had problems staying asleep. Also try a hard workout earlier in the day. Best of luck!
Thank you!
also for me CBD worked better with magnesium supplements, idk why but try that if cbd isnt enough.
Absolutely as a former power lifter I was injured all the time and was forced to take many supplements to keep gaining strength and help my sleep most pre workout supplements are similar to amphetamines. Magnesium, BCAA’s, CBD (don’t ever buy from a gas station) and don’t eat after 8. Don’t go to gnc just go on Amazon or any online supplement store you’ll save some money.
Hi.👋 I'm sorry about your sleep issues. Unfortunately, I'm familiar with those as well. It really stinks, doesn't it?
Here are some suggestions:
-Develop a "winding down" routine before bed. Your brain will eventually connect these to getting ready for sleep.
-Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.
-Keep the bedroom cooler than the rest of the house (we actually turn the heat off in our bedroom).
-When you sleep, do it in total darkness. Blackout curtains/shades come in handy here. I used to wear a mask (although I can't do that anymore because of my CPAP).
-Keep screen stuff out of the bedroom since blue light tricks the brain into thinking it's daytime.
I also use a calming oil that is very effective at making me completely calm and sleepy. It's by Dr. Hauschka and is called "Moor Lavender Calming Body Oil". I rub it on my neck and behind my ears.
I hope these help!🙂
Thank you!
I suggest you take a look at the TED talk by Jim Donovan on tricking your mind to sleep. I was very sceptical, quackery?? try it every night for a week, what have you got to loose?
Hi Fwizzy.
I am on antidepressants. I sleep better when I take them earlier in the day. I have to take trazidone 50 mgm. to sleep. Puts me to sleep usually within 20 mins. . Even with that, I sleep much better when I get sufficient exercise during the day. Hope that helps.
Have you tried mindfulness before bed? I’ve found that it puts me to a deep sleep 😴 Check out the headspace app!
Thank you!
I know what you’re going through, I’ve gone 2 days without sleeping, it’s almost 2 am and I’m still awake. Have you ever done a Sleep Study? I just did one this Past Monday, I’m sure I have sleep apnea. So see about getting that done hopefully it will be what you Need?
Thank you!
I take antidepressants in the morning and Trazadone 159mg at night.
Try Melatonin it is available OTC and has no bad drugs in it. It contains what is in turkey to help you sleep about 3mg to 4mg should help.
Have you tried the opposite. Instead of sleeping only give yourself a limited time to sleep and see what happens. It may be you don't need as much sleep as you think?
Interesting, thank you!
