Trouble with sleeping

This is a completely non-diet, non-supplement suggestion, but weighted blankets seem to be useful for helping people insomnia get to sleep and stay asleep.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post links to websites that sell things, but you can google weighted blankets and read about it. Mosaic Weighted Blankets has information, as well as blankets and lap blankets for sale.

Thank you, Martha! That was interesting.

The daylight lamp works so good! I have been able to sleep 7-8 hours the last few days and I'm so grateful. Hope this will last.

Holly,

What a warm and personal message you sent me! I'm so grateful and my heart goes out to you (I'm not so familiar to this kind of language in English when it comes to conveying feelings, but I hope I have chosen the "right" words...).

I take one cap full of ReMag, in addition to 1 capsule of Magnesium Glycinate 100% Chelated. But, I'm not sure if all this sleep issue is magnesium-related. After all, I have now managed to sleep 7-8 hours every night since last Monday.

I used to be wide awake after a trip to the bathroom during night. Now, I can sleep all during night. The only way I know that I have been to the bathroom during night, is that I can see that I have been drinking water, since the level in my glass has diminished... Usually, after a trip to the bathroom I would be wide awake, lying in bed starring at the roof.

For now, I think that my lack of sleep is related to the lack of daylight, i.e. melatonin. After all, I live in the world's most northern country, where we have daylight only for a few hours during the day, from October till February.

My daylight lamp has surprised me. When I decided to buy it I was desperate, and the lamp was my last straw. Now, after 3-4 nights, I have been able to sleep unabruptedly for 8 hours (besides trips to the bathroom that don't make me wide awake as they used to).

Thank you, Holly
