Hi to all ,im finding it really hard to sleep at night and if by some miracle i do fall asleep im awake again a few hours later, i switched taking my climagest  to night time ... anybody got any hints or tips for me to try would be most grateful
This was one of my problems before i started HRT...I hoped HRT would help but sadly not for me ..

Not sure it's related to HRT. I'm on Estradot patches & I have problems getting to sleep. Often still awake at 2-3am. Then I waken about 6ish & doze after that. Very tiring.

yes cubagirl sounds just like me was prescribed Zopiclone but i hate taking them,as its a sleeping tablet and not good for you . so im hoping someone can share some hints and tips tried magnesium oil but that did,nt work .

I got Zopiclone short term, but although it helps for a while it's breaking the habit of poor sleep that seems to take forever. Magnesium oil didn't work for me either. I can't take any of the Valerian tablets as they make me queasy. GP suggested antihistamines which cause drowsiness. Hard to get though.

yes cubagirl antihistamines make me feel horrible and hung over next day so there a no no...ive tried all the relax and tense your muscles , but nothing works so tired when i go to bed as soon as eyes closed my brain wakes up, thanks for your reply helps to know im not the only one .

I bought melatonin from Majorca. It's safe for kids with autism so know it's ok. I use just a quarter of a pill so only 0.50mg and it works a treat. I take it at around 10pm, have light supper, read fir about 20 minutes, then bingo off to sleep. I still wake for the loo at least twice but go back off, usually sleep until 9am.

Thanks Sarai will give it a go anything worth a go

I've got insomnia - asleep all day and awake all night - driving me insane.
