Sleep

[Lynn1966]

Hi I just wanted to share. Not sure if this has been mentioned. As some off you maybe aware I had sleeping problems. I was advised by my cardio nurse to take my statins earlier than I was... instead off taking mine at 9pm I'm now taking them at 7pm and it's made a massive difference. Hope this helps .xx

Glad it helps but what type of statin? There are five types of statin routinely used within the NHS although I know of seven so the type is highly relevant.

I’m on Atorvastatin Michael x

Thanks for letting us know. I'm having sleep issues and on Atorvastatin too - I can get to sleep but keep waking up and never really feel rested. I'm going to speak to my doctor about it.

Hi it used to take me at least an hour to get to sleep. I would be asleep for about an hour then I’d be awake for the rest off the night. Now I’m asleep within 15mins . I wake up once but I just snuggle back down and before I know it it’s time to get up. X

Thanks for that I will try it too, but not tonight as it is already 20.50

I do think worrying about a couple of friends does not help when you can't sleep, but that is an other matter.
