No Sleep for 2 Hrs after nighttime HC dose

[Guest guest]

Last 3 nights I've not been able to fall asleep for 2 hours after going to bed.

I've never had a

problem falling asleep!

Dosing 10 /7.5 /5 /2.5 at 9:00 1:00 5:00 Bedtime

Last weeks temps

97.5

97.7

97.8

97.7

97.6

97.2 (may be ovulation)

97.8 (may be ovulation)

Should I half the bedtime dose, skip it or take it at 9:00 pm so I may get to

sleep by 11? I'm also waking around 5

and not getting back to sleep for at least an hour.

Thanks,

Janet

I'll increase the HC but do you think I should take the bedtime dose earlier

around 9 so I'll get to sleep

or will this increase change things?

Hi Janet, I don't have the trouble falling asleep, although I take

something every night so I'm not a good test of that. I do, however,

have the 5AM wake-up problem which, at times has been a 3:45 - 4:30AM

problem but it seems to have moved to 5AM since I began eating a

protein snack right before bed. I take 5mg of HC at bed-time. This

3-5AM wake up problem seems is very common - it seems to affect almost

all of us who are on HC at one time or another. I don't know that

anyone has found a good answer yet, but some of the things that we

have tried, with mixed success, are eating a high protein snack very

shortly before bed - something like a few slices of apple with

sunflower or almond butter. Increasing, or decreasing your bedtime

dose of HC - for you that would be increasing to 5MG if you're at

2.5mg. Setting an alarm for somewhere around 3AM to get up and eat

and take a small dose of HC so that your body doesn't force you awake

at 5AM. I know that even prescription sleep aids don't help with the

staying asleep part of this because I've been living it for over two

months. They do seem to help with getting to sleep though. There are

also the non-prescription sleep aids like melatonin, l-tryptophan,

valerian root, and others if you haven't tried them yet. The first

two did not affect me well, but many people seem to have good luck

with them.

I'll increase the HC to 10/10/5/5 today but do you think I should take the

bedtime dose earlier around 9 so I'll get to sleep or will this increase change

things so I can sleep? Janet
