[quote=Anonymous]This was a huge problem for me. Could fall asleep, but couldn’t stay asleep more than 4-5 hours and was absolutely wired at 3-4am. I was exhausted all day and had terrible brain fog. It was a horrible way to live. My diet, exercise were great. I even meditated and had a great sleep routine. Here is what I did. Accept that you cannot both drink alcohol and sleep on the same night. Same if you have caffeine after the morning. HRT helped a lot, but not at the beginning, it took time and a relatively high patch level. Magnesium at night (with progesterone). L-theanine (supplement) also seems to help me (take at bedtime). A bedtime snack high in fat/protein helps me, but I am not much of a dinner person. Just make sure you have decent fat/protein either at dinner or later. When/if you do wake up wired or with racing thoughts, have a plan. Accept that it’s not real, just hormonal. My sleep is still not awesome, but so much better than it was. [/quote]
