Guest guest Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I've been living with CFS for nearly 4 years and have been seriously sleep deprived for that long. I was officially diagnosed 4 months ago and have been on a variety of prescription drugs and supplements to fight my way back. Prescription drugs don't work for me, the 'antidepressants' only made me sicker or I had all kinds of bad reactions to them. The sleeping pills only gave me 4 hours of sleep on a good night. Melatonin basically allowed me a nap. Desperate to get some sleep I did my own research and found Valerian Root. It takes a few weeks to build up in your system. I have been taking it for 4 nights and am already noticing a huge difference. Last night I slept for 6 hours and didn't wake up once. Normally sleep for me is like watching tv in my head all night, there was just no getting away from all the dreaming and I could recall every moment of them. From last night I am only aware of the dream I had before waking up. I don't wake up feeling drugged. I am hopeful that this new supplement will allow me to get most of the sleep that I should be and perhaps catch up some on all that sleep deprivation and if I am really lucky, have some kind of a 'normal' life.
