One of the classes it Hot Yoga which I would think would help me sleep? Last night after Zumba I took a bath with lavender oil and it seemed to help me fall asleep a little faster than I have been.<br /><br />I have not tried melatonin...I think I may give that a try. I did see a doctor and they said my progesterone was like non existent and I have hypothyroidism, but I have been on the meds for those and still having issues. I have started doing your "no eating after 7 pm" and other suggestions, so hopefully I'll be able to get some decent sleep soon!Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892281429857142743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021579095196883626.post-59894664816887581242013-02-07T12:46:46.626-08:002013-02-07T12:46:46.626-08:00Hi Casey!
I'm so sorry you have insomnia, o...Hi Casey! <br /><br />I'm so sorry you have insomnia, or not getting full sleep. I have had it a few times and it caused me a great deal of anxiety. It takes over your life. <br /><br />The honest answer to this question is that there isn't any miracle food that will take the place of sleep. Meaning, if you aren't getting enough good sleep, then eating nutritiously may not be able to make up for it. That is the bad news. But eating nutritiously will make you feel much better than if you were not eating well. It's just that if you are tired from lack of sleep, you need sleep. :)<br /><br />I have a few questions: <br /><br />1) Do you exercise vigorously each day? (at least 30 minutes) Exercise will help you to sleep better. Do not exercise in the evening if you have trouble sleeping.<br /><br />2) Have you ever tried melatonin? I have, and it works. Try 0.3-0.5 mg before bed. Start with the lower dose. <br /><br />And here are a few other suggestions:<br /><br />1) Avoid caffiene in all forms.<br /><br />2) See a doctor.<br /><br />3) Avoid naps. This can be a vicious cycle where you can't sleep at night so you lay down for a nap.<br /><br />4) Don't turn on lights in the middle of the night, and don't flush the toilet! I'm not kidding, noises like these will wake you up. <br /><br />5) Try a warm bath and herb tea at night to get you settled down. <br /><br />6) Try a white noise maker. Marcie and I both have these and our kids love them. <br /><br />7) No tv in room, try reading.<br /><br />8) DON'T EAT AFTER 7:00 pm. When there is food to digest in your system, your body focuses on that instead of replenishing cells. Food churning in your stomach (even if you don't notice it) isn't helping you sleep. <br /><br />Keep me posted on this!

I was putting my kids down for naps when people were on the phone asking you questions so she said I could write you on here. <br /><br />Do you know of anything I can do or eat that will help me sleep and not be so tired all day? I have a fitbit that tracks my activity, calories, and sleeping habits and it tells me in a 6-8 hour span i wake up about 25 times. It's hard to watch my two kids all day on so little sleep. Any thoughts would be appreciated!Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892281429857142743noreply@blogger.com
