Make Me Sleep

Hi:

I am a terrible sleeper with or wo/drink. When I drink, I usually get the sweats & wake up a lot during the night, so I haven't been going there. I take Melatonin (you can get it almost anywhere: drugstore, health food store). I also take an over-the-counter sleep aid. It leaves me feeling kind of groggy the next day, but it eventually makes me sleep. I also do what you just did. Turn on the computer & go to MWO website. Good luck.

If you want to go the natural way you can use Melatonin about 30 minutes before bedime or Valerian an hour before bedtime. You can get them at any vitamin store and the valerian really works well for me.

Good night!

Try going for a walk or doing some exercise in the evening.

I personally wouldn't suggest taking any over the counter sleeping pills as long term they can make things worse, but I am all for trying alternatives from health shops like calm sleep.

Everyone is different and initally when you do stop drinking it can interfere with your sleep pattern. Hopefully it will settle and when you wake up bursting with energy you will know it was worth it.

Take care. Mandy xx
