Sleep help
Hi everyone. I’ve had sleep latency issues for a long time. Between 1-4 hours. On occasion. Usually atleast once a week. I go to the gym and sometimes it’s been associated when I need to deload or pullback my training.
One of the main problems is that I could feel my pulse throbbing in my neck and sometimes I would have the same song stuck in my head. I would get up throughout the night and try to reset where I would go into the kitchen, and get a sip of something or stand there for a little bit and then go try to sleep again and that works sometimes
Last year i stared taking ashwagandha, about 650mg and that seemed to help. I also started using CALM sleep supplement.
It’s 5g melatonin. 220 mg magnesium glycinate, GABA 100 mg and l-theanine 50 mg. That’s a full dosage. I take half because if I don’t sleep I feel groggy with the melatonin. But it helped with the ashwagandha for a long time. I also have three fans on at night. Have bamboo blankets to help the air flow breathe, I spray lavender on my pillow and my night light setting(blue light blocker) is always on, on my phone. The past 5 weeks I’m not sure what’s happened but my sleep has tanked. On days I never had issues sleeping I have terrible latency and night sweats, and fragmented sleep. It’s maybe 4/5 nights out of the week. I’ve pulled back in the gym and that’s helped the fragmentation a bit but not the sweats or latency. Yesterday I stopped the ashwagandha and tried a new sleep supplement. 200 mg L – theanine and 210 mg of magnesium bisglycinate. That seemed to just make it worse. I really thought those would help me sleep better because I looked a lot on Reddit and I did a lot of research about how does it affect the body but I felt so alert and wired.
I did a sleep apnea study and it’s not that
I was really hoping that supplement would help and I feel like it did the exact opposite and I’m really desperate to sleep. It’s really starting to impact my life in a negative way. And it’s just not feasible to lay in bed 11 hours to get six hours of sleep. Any insight would help appreciated.
