[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been doing great with dry January.  I feel better in the mornings because I have a clear head.

My sleep has been absolute crap.  I keep waking sometime between 3 and 4 and can’t go back to sleep for one to two hours.  I wake up super hot and sweaty, even though my room is very cool and I’m pretty chilly when I fall asleep.

If I wake at 4, that basically means no more sleep for the night.  Also having a challenge falling asleep.  Taking me an hour +.

I’ve been doing all the things.  Only one cup of coffee, before 8am. A moderate intensity workout no later than 3pm.  No water after 7pm, no food after 6:30pm, sleep type meditations with breath work right before sleep.  Related or not, I started a probiotic and an over-40 multivitamin a couple weeks ago to see if it helps, but no luck.

I expect part of this is perimenopause.  I have an appt with my doc at the end of the month to talk about possibly starting support. For not just the sleep, but yeah, the messed up sleep is a big one.  I’ll be asking about estrogen/progesterone, cannabis, and supplements (like ashwaganda and maca root).

I’ve tried melatonin and it can help with the falling asleep but not the staying asleep, and I get headaches most mornings I’ve taken it.

Just frustrated.[/quote]

Have you had a sleep study? I would ask your doctor about getting one.[/quote]
