Hi. This is pammysue. I’ve been up all night but I don’t sleep anymore. My stomach hurts all the time.

[Hidden]

I was up (I have maintenance insomnia - I sleep 3-3.5 hours, wake 2-3 hours back to sleep but with a little help of some over the counter supps, but I get back to sleep for another 3-3.5 hrs). I had to turn off my devices too, amazing how blue light lengthens sleep onset.

Hope you find something that works for your insomnia. I’ve been round and round with finding what works that doesn’t involve prescription sleep meds that cause me next day impairment, low mood, etc. Hope you got some sleep. 😴🥱😊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I actually did find something. Listening to horror stories on youtube I fall asleep in like 20 mins. I found that out last night after I made this post.

[wiserlady in reply to Hidden]

have either of you tried weighted blankets or herbs?

[Hidden in reply to wiserlady]

I sleep hot (52/post menopausal) so I can’t use a weighted a blanket. I do use supplements (combo herbs/amino acids/fatty acids with low dose melatonin). Nothing can keep me asleep more than 2-3-3.5 hours not even prescription sleep meds.

I’m able to get enough sleep to stay active the next day and no impairment or effects on my mood or my ability to handle anxiety during day.

[wiserlady in reply to Hidden]

I tried sleeping pills from the doctor - years ago - they were addictive because you had to keep increasing the dose - bcame very ill on them.

[Hidden in reply to wiserlady]

I been on everything, nothing kept me asleep except low dose trazodone. I started having neuro symptoms like off balance, dizziness, exercuse intolerance, shortness of breath, had every test done to see what was wrong.

Decided it was my sleep med, and it was. All of that went away after coming off it.

[Hidden in reply to wiserlady]

I am searching for some herbs to try. I used melatonin, but it has no effect on me anymore. My body is too used to it. I used awe blanket once don't like em, I'm cheap, they're expensive. Plus I felt trapped because it was hard to move around under it.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

If only listening horror stories was my cure. If I works, it works. 😁
