Getting Enough Sleep
I used to sleep great, but when I start getting endo pain I have a hard time staying asleep. If the tiniest thing wakes me up, that's it, I'm awake. If I take something before bed it wears off before it can help. And I don't always have an opportunity for a nap later in my day. Has anyone found a way to get restful, restorative sleep? Only getting 6 hours of sleep a night almost every night is really wearing me down.
I can highly recommend taking Cherry juice - has to be a certain type of cherry 'Montmorency 'that has the
sleep inducing qualities in them. I am a very light sleeper and worse since entering perimeopause phase, taking this has enabled me to sleep deeper for longer and I now wake up feeling refreshed. Its an amazing effective and more important natural way to encourage good sleep !!
I’ve always had insomnia, which got worse as my pain got worse I get 4 hours per night now before I was getting 1-2. I cut down screen time after 7pm, I have a routine at night, I bath with Epsom salts and essential oils, do skincare, have a sleep tea, I also take melatonin which I have found to be great (a sleep hormone) I use earplugs and a eye mask as I’m very sensitive to noise and light, I make my bedroom as comfortable as possible and I listen to a sleep meditation on the Calm app. I found all of this combined has improved my sleep. Thinking of you sleep deprivation is bloody awful x
When I get a flareup, I get about four hours asleep, so I usually take an edible and I sleep all night
Valium.
I hope you find something to help you! I tried supplements, diffusers, sound machines, cutting out screen time, meditation, exercising.... the only thing that helped me sleep was having endo implants removed with surgery. I had sleep issues 10 months prior to my surgery. Now that I can sleep I'm always tired
