Adcal before bed?

[Sandradsn]

Is it my imagination or does taking Adcal before bed make me sleep so much better😏.I take one at lunchtime then one last thing at night.I've done this for a few weeks now and sleep has improved a lot. 🤔🤔?

I have heard before that it has a soporific effect. It was spoiled for me because it irritated my bladder and I had to get up to go to the loo.

HeronNS finds the same thing. Calcium is said to have a soporific affect.

Same for me, chewed my Calceo at 10.00pm last night, must have fallen asleep straight after as kindle untouched. Woke at 6.30am. first uninterrupted night for years. Could it be why I drop off during the day, that's when I have been taking them. ??

Another one of the 'who knows'. Anyway night it is in future

Same here! To sleep all night is great☺I will continue my late night dose.

Wish it had worked for me. Tried it last night as I am not sleeping at all well. Was still awake 4.30am!

I was still awake at 2.30 am this morning!

Am going to try this tonight, I am a bad sleeper so am hoping my Calci-D does it for me !! x

It's worth trying!!

PMRpro is right - I was a lifelong intermittent insomniac. Now that I take calcium supplement near bedtime, usually with a little milk and a spoonful of plain full fat yoghurt, I sleep much better, have no trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. It is very very rare now for me to lie wakeful - even after drinking coffee late in the day. Although I have to say the stress of planning renovations has made me wake up very early the last few weeks!
