@dennismm: Sleep deprivation does not make for productive, pleasant days… or nights! Sleep was illusive for me until I tried this: I have had a good response taking 240mg Magnesium Glycinate at bedtime. Please check with your doc before you try this sleep solution (contraindications could exist from meds or your current blood lab values). It has helped me get a restful sleep without any foggy mornings. Best health to you.

I heard smoking a Joint marijuana (=)

Was your neurologist a Sleep Specialist?

I double the magnesium glycerinate to 480 mg at night. It helps.

My doctor has me on Lorazepam, which I’m trying to taper off. He suggested Tylenol pm (which basically is Benadryl) which has let me sleep for 5 hours.
1.5mg melatonin helps me get to sleep. Then .5mg lorazepam, and then Tylenol pm. This is not a long-term solution, but is helpful right now (only 3 nights so far). Also, I’m going to try OLLY Sleep with melatonin, L-theanine and herbs. Good luck!
PS i’ve tried CBD gummies and it helps a little bit

Hi I have recently started to have slew issues due to health anxiety - heart and more recently a lump on my sternoclavicular bone which I fear is going to press on my throat at night. I felt I was going crazy and was told it was anxiety. Bit also been put on blood thinners which may add to problems.
I have recently returned to an old acupuncture contact and following one session felt a little relaxed and she has put some pins in my ears for a week to help calm my system. O have also used Bach rescue remedy during the night and this helps relax the nervous system too so I fall back to sleep.
Worth a try? There’s nothing worse than not sleeping. Hope you can get some rest

I cannot stop my brain from thinking at night cannot sleep

Hello ... I understand the struggle . I get it. Been dealing with it for 18 years.
I'm 58 and going thru menopause ... fun, fun. But the 'wakefulness' started kicking in when I was about 40.
Round and round, this medication, that natural supplement, this sleep hygiene protocol, blah, blah, blah ...

Long story short ... Check out insomniacoach.com
It's very helpful. Kind of shows us (and there are a lot of us) how to take the sting out of this monster.
Lots of info ... look around, listen to the stories of others and the advice of Martin Reed, who not only hosts the website but has first hand experience with this.

First I am not a physician but only telling you what works for me. I do not do this every night. Only about 2 nights in a row. I have bad allergies and sometimes nose clogged at night and can’t sleep from breathing out of my mouth. The medication does not advertise that it makes you drowsy.
It I take a Zyrtec as indicated on label about 20 minutes later I am sleeping. Check with your doctor about other meds you are taking so as to know it is not contraindicated.

Good Luck

What is Bach Rescue remedy?
