Lack of sleep

[happyseal]

Hello Ladies,

Hope you’re well and coping with everything.

So lately I cannot sleep. I go to bed early and usually sleep around 10pm, then I wake up at 2 or so and cannot go back to sleep. It’s everything... noises from cars and transport, my bladder that lately is going mad, hot flashes, every little thing wakes me up. And I’m so tired, fatigued without energy for anything. Chamomile teas, lavender essential oil, eye mask, white noise, 5htp, and etc don’t do anything. I’m getting so depressed because of it and I’m so tired of everything.

Does anyone suffers from insomnia? If so what do you do?

I am the same- I hope someone comes on here with some good advice!

Oh dear... I hope so. I am not sure if it’s hormones or something else. I just ordered cbs oil to give it a go.

Have a look on ashwagandha it has helped me. I made a nice moon milk with it yesterday and it helped me sleep all through the night. I even dreamed...

So I have tried different things, but it seems that ashwagandha was the one hitting the spot. I can’t say for sure since It might be that the magnesium, 5htp and valerian finally started having an effect after a week.

So I think that my PMS has changed to PMDD. I can thick pretty much all the symptoms, and it explains my irritability. In fact irritability doesn’t even quite explain my anger levels.

Hi happyseal. I will look into that.... I've also been meaning to get some magnesium.

I'm 44 and starting my peri menopause I think. I had a terrible night lastnight, really bad night sweats.

I also get really bad pms but oil ofevening primrose has helped so much with that
