I’m sleeping only 4-6 hours per evening as I wake up constantly, although I’m in bed for 8 hours. Anyone care to share the secret of getting 8 hours sleep?
I'm up 2-3 times a night. Sometimes I just 'give-up' and stay up for an hour or two. But, I do get 8+ hours of sleep every night.
Some of the medicines that say take at bed time, I take them with lunch. Then I have a 1-1/2 hour nap everyday after lunch.
I'm 77 and take a long hike in the woods with my dogs every morning, everyday! When I don't take the hike, I don't sleep well that night. Exercize is very important.(aerobic type)
A clear conscience :-)
A friend of ours said that, at dinner, years ago.
Good medicine.
it’s probably not the best way, but in addition to aerobic walks before bed, I have been taking 1 benadryl tablet just before bed.
It lets me relax so I don’t hear as noises as much when I do go to sleep. I am very reactive to noises and movements and will wake at the drop of a hat, ‘literally”.
I found that taking calcium-magnesium, plus melatonin, helps reduce the number of times I wake-up at night.
