mkean1250help, God bless you. I am so sorry. This is a hard thing. I cannot speak from the experience you are having, but, I do have some restless nights from pain....but not nightly. Please promise me you will not do anything to harm yourself. Call the 988 number if you need help. Are you getting any counseling or have a trusted friend to talk to about this? Sometimes just talking to someone relieves so much anxiety.

Have they tried anything with you for anxiety? Sometimes Ativan (Lorazepam) is prescribed for sleep. Sometimes Trazodone (an antidepressant) is used for sleep. Have you tried Magnesium Glycinate or Calm Powder (this has magnesium in it) or Melatonin 5 mg? I take Natrol Melatonin 5 mg gummies occasionally for sleep and it works within 30 minutes for me. I also take the Magnesium Glycinate as it relaxes your muscles as well and lowers blood pressure. Are you able to nap during the day?

Here are a few suggestions:

1) Do not go on social media, watch the news, get on your phone with someone an hour before bedtime. This
winds your mind up. There is so much negativity on T.V.

2) Do not do anything that causes your mind to get over stimulated, such as balancing your checkbook before
bedtime.

3) Take a hot shower or a tub bath in Epsom Salt which has magnesium in it. It is relaxing.

4) Have you had a massage? This is very relaxing to your whole body if you can tolerate it.

5) Lavender is relaxing. There are a lot of lavender products out there in candles, etc., that help you
relax.

6) Do you have blackout curtains in your bedroom? This helps a lot of people to sleep.

7) Watch your caffeine in take at least 4 hours before bedtime.

8) I am a Christian and pray every night and read my Bible right before bedtime. This helps me to sleep as well.

I am praying for you right now and for your sleep to be sweet tonight. Please keep us all posted. Blessings & Prayers....
