Wife and I, both soon to be 70 take no prescriptions at all. We do a lot of vitamins but both of us don’t sleep well... Tried melatonin but that doesn’t work either. Wife tried the CBD gummies and that didn’t work. We exercise 5 days a week and walk a lot. We’re pretty active.
We’ll go several nights with restless sleep, awake pretty much every hour then get a couple nights of good sleep then repeat. It is what it is but we’ll never take sleeping pills.
I have issues with sleeping, too. I think that the nights I sleep well are nights when I’ve eaten nothing after around 5 p.m. Have never taken an actual sleeping pill, but did try melatonin and didn’t like the hangover. Also, I believe UTIs were connected with it.
When I can’t sleep I just tell myself that at least I don’t have to get up for work in the morning.
“We do a lot of vitamins but both of us don’t sleep well.”
Have you tried cutting out the vitamins? I found I was overdosing on B vitamins which caused me to be up at night.
