pmz, could you try to explain thoroughly how your sleep has improved? I know you have said that your sleep is mostly good, what does that mean? I'm not talking about whether you feel refreshed, I'm talking about the actual sleep at night.
What I want to know is:
1. What has been the actual problems you've experienced? Difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, or just waking up too early?
2. When did sleep start to improve? (In months)
3. When did your sleep get to a point that is close to normal (in months)
4. Do you really have sleeping problems still, or has it resolved?
Thanks in advance bro
At first I couldn't fall asleep at all. And when I did I would sleep for minutes at a time. Only to wake up and lay there for hours again and repeat.
(8 months)Then it got better to where I could sleep for a few hours, but I was extremely light sensitive. So any sunlight through my window would wake me up. I had to sleep with a blind fold on
(10 months)Slowly it got better where I would fall asleep fine once my anxiety was gone. Yet i would wake up multiple times a night and could never get a full night sleep.
(12 months)Then I stopped taking all my supplements that have a Neuro transmitter effect. Like phenylalanine, theanine, 5-htp. And started sleeping better. This is within the last month. I don't wake up as often throughout the night. I fall asleep just fine as well.
(13 months) Though now I seem to have something waking me up again. I have changed nothing. Or so I think. I'm investigating why I'm waking up so much This last week. I think I'm just coming down with my annual lung cold, where I have trouble breathing. So I just think that's what waking me up. I wake up out of breath. This is a common annual thing for me. So I believe it's totally unrelated.
But now. Regardless if I wake up a few time throughout the night. I'm not going through my day totally groggy. Like today I feel fine. I turned on my humidifier last night and seemed to not wake up as much.
I also noticed that I need to go to sleep my 10 the latest to get a good night sleep
I also can't eat anything past 9. I believe my body is still trying to digest food which disrupts a normal sleep pattern.
Also I drink about a gallon+ of water a day. I have to stop drinking at around 8 at night. Otherwise I have to get up to pee
Also just had a random thought. We are all guys having this problem. With the exception of maybe 1. I wonder why that might be
