Story of my life lol.

I've been taking melatonin gummies before bed, and those seem to be helping.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Don't rely on melatonin pills because then your body stops making its own. Look at magnesium and zinc. Do that with a multivitamin (whose magnesium oxide and zinc oxide are hard to absorb) and you got everything.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 7 points 5 months ago

I do have all of those in my cabinet, but wasn't aware they would help with falling/staying asleep. Def agree about not becoming dependent on melatonin supplements; I try not to over-do it, but sometimes when I have important stuff to do first thing in the morning, I don't want risk being a zombie from poor/no sleep.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Hmmm.

I got the magnesium supplement, but I didn't know about zinc oxide and I didn't know they were hard to absorb.

I better look up what foods those guys are in, make it a little snack before bed instead

Melatonin seems to have a negative impact on my sleep.

I should try multivitamins

[–] Duranie@literature.cafe 1 points 5 months ago

I've had bad experiences with melatonin, but now I find it can be helpful in smaller doses. I cycle through a bedtime thc/CBD/melatonin sleep aid (Wonder Wellness Sleep), L-theanine, and melatonin, only taking one for tops a week at a time. That rotation seems to help.

Yeah magnesium has helped my restless leg syndrome and insomnia fairly well

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 18 points 5 months ago

Yep, this is me.

Stupid brain turns on at 3am, refuses to turn off and always complains.

Sleep apnea is fun, too. Just add him 'sleeping' for a very short time between those panels.

Getting a cpap was borderline lifechanging for me.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yeah most everyone says the same, which is awesome. It doesn't seem to do anything for me unfortunately. I like the air pressure, but there's no difference in anything else.

[–] Zidane@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Right there with ya bud, wish so much that it would work for me.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

It's good to know there's others it doesn't work for.

[–] sibannac@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I used one for sometime and I found it made me feel short of breath in the morning. Like the feeling after jogging for a couple miles but from sleep.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's interesting. I wonder if your air pressure setting wasn't high enough or something.

[–] sibannac@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It was set when perscribed, then my doctor retired and left me with the device and no real guidance or continuation. This was back in 2020-21 and I havent used it since. Also the unit was recalled for having insulation find its way into the airway.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Ah gotcha. Yeah the newer ones have a digital settings menu you can change anytime. I definitely wouldn't want insulation in the tube though, thats no good.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 1 points 5 months ago

I was on one temporarily in the hospital and it was incredible once dialed in.

[–] SleepyPie@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I’ve recently learned that consistency of going to bed and waking up at the same time matters more for long term health than sleep duration. I used to obsess about getting 8 hours but go to bed at various times between 10pm-1am and I’d never set an alarm on the weekend. Since doing a consistent 9:30pm-7am my health and energy has improved tremendously in the last 2 months. I’m already starting to wake up before my alarm. I highly recommend trying this if you haven’t already.

you might try a Valerian Root extract tincture. Just make it your self with ethanol everclear and some Valerian Root, make it strong.

then have some before bed and odds are that you'll be well out. But don't buy a crap version, get a good strong one or just make it yourself, it's easy.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wait hold on

Aren't you basically just taking a shot then?

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Don't forget the Valerian Root!

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

I usually just take a few shots for the road
