Managing here with four or five hours of sleep, that’s better than I used to get. I’m doing pretty well though, not really complaining.
My husband passed away last July, I had stayed awake during those last days, and my sleep hasn’t been “normal” since. Later got a prescription of Trazodone, then had a bad fall on a minor hike, and was told in the hospital that I blacked out before I fell. Spent two nights there, had a black and blue face, hurt like the devil, but tested out normal.
I had taken that med late that previous night, and took that hike before breakfast. Well, I learned from that! Too old to go on any hike by myself, etc. But I felt good, LOL.
I have not taken Trazodone since.
Am praying that the lack of sleep doesn’t affect my overall health, and so far my family doctor doesn’t seem worried.
I do wonder of long term effects.
Am I sticking my head in the sand?
Oh, I tried that Beam sleep drink, now drink some Chamomile tea and take 5 mg of Melatonin. Keeping out blue light, and used to listen to white noise.
Do think I’m doing pretty well, just hope - like I said above - that I’m not sticking my head in the sand.
