Sleeplessness

My son has awful problems with sleep. He can go days without it. I got him some gummies with magnesium glycinate and they seem to help. I got them in Holland and Barratt.

I wake several times in the night. Get up and make a drink and refill the hottie. No way would I pace the floor however worried I am...and I certainly have worries. You can't fall asleep while marching about.

A book to read close by is the best for me. If I go on line I stay awake too long. I often fall asleep over a book.

There was a thread called something like the 3 am crew which was comforting to know you are one of many awake in the early hours. Perhaps we should start a new one.

Sorry OP can't really help as I suffer from the same. I do make sure I am warm enough in bed, but that doesnt keep me asleep! But I expect you have tried everything. Medicationmis probably the sure fire way. Or perhaps medication from your GP for anxiety not necessarily for sleeplessness may help.

I have suffered from sleep problems for years and like you I don’t want to take prescription medication for it so I often use OTC Morrisons sleep aid which you buy from Morrisons pharmacy or sleep patches from Amazon, I try not to use them every night
