Sleep problem

[Reinosa]

Three years ago my partner of forty years died. Since then I’ve had severe insomnia, not affecting my daily life in a bad way but I’ve been taking prescribed drugs-Azpralozam. 1 mg each night.

I’m not happy about taking such drugs but I need sleep.

I’ve got an appointment with my cardio guy next month for pacemaker checkup. I’m considering asking him about cannabis oil or even a mild joint before sleeping.

I live in western Spain so no problem with the latter.

Anyolne else with this problem?

Could you try a one off mild joint just to see how it goes?

Dear Reinosa

So sorry to hear of your loss and even after three years it must still seem so raw for you.

A mild joint surly would not harm you and if the benefits were a good night sleep, then I for one would never judge you.

But I’m not medically trained.

I take the same drug now and then in food and I find it helps to relax me as some turn to a drink to do the same { I don’t drink }

I hope it works for you, maybe meditation?

Don’t be afraid to ask for different sleeping tablets, I know shock, horror, but I used them for just a few nights to get me back into the habit of sleep, it worked for me. [ after finding the right ones ]

Take care you are in my thoughts

I am sorry to hear about your loss. It is such a major change in your life. Has it led to changes in your activity levels? I know that if I have been inactive all day I will sleep badly.

No, I’ve got a son and grandsons in the UK, I keep busy and have many good friends and a good social life. I’m involved in local politics and do volunteer charity work. I’m actually a Spanish citizen. I make a point of walking 8km/5miles a day.But it’s not the same when you go home alone after so many years as a couple.

That all sounds good. I hope things improve for you.

How do you take it in food? Does it involve baking cakes?
