Hi Sleepie,
I have major sleep issues. I take different over the counter sleep aids.
I mix them up because I'm afraid of becoming dependent on them.
I take a few from Whole Foods, you know, thinking they are safer. I don't know if they are really safer though. They have valerian and melatonin among other things.
I also take Benadryl on occasion.
It's really tough. I usually end up getting enough sleep, but that often means waking up quite late in the a.m. I always want to try and fall asleep on my own, so when it doesn't happen, I take something, but it is usually quite late.
I know you are suffering in this hot weather, and I am sorry. Hang in there; Fall is coming soon..
I will be posting even less than before, but I still think about many of the people here on SR, and wish them well including you. Please be kind to yourself Sleepie
; you deserve kindness.
