I am not used to this sleeping pattern so I am anxious, irritable and agitated. I have a call into my doc. Expected to hear today but didn't so another sleepless night.
Mine got worse after the time change too! It was not ideal but way worse when the time changed. Trazadone used to work for me but barely works now. I’m sorry you are going through this. I know exactly how you feel. What sorta worked for me for the last 5 nights is essential oils and listening to a sleep meditation video. It helps put me to sleep... but I still wake up too soon, I get about 4 hours of sleep. I just know that’s better than what the sleep pills did for me. I also didn’t want to get addicted to them, especially after my doc prescribed Lunesta. That’s a hard core one and it knocked me out super fast but only kept me asleep 4 hours one night and 3 the next time. It is supposed to keep you asleep for 7 hours.... haha, that did not happen so I don’t want to take it anymore. I hope your sleep returns!!
Thanks for this!
