A Good Night's Sleep General Chat

[Spikey]

I'm getting to that age where getting a good nights sleep is becoming more difficult. I wake up, usually about 4am, for a piss (it's an age thing) and cannot get back to sleep

I'd like to try some natural remedies before I go to the pharmacist or doctors.

Any advice welcome.

edit - I'm not overweight, have a healthy diet and exercise on an almost daily basis.

Hemp oil / CBD oil can often help.

I take Hydrate 78 Night, doesn't guarantee a longer sleep but a deeper sleep. Wake up feeling fresh every morning and my Oura Ring tracker backs it up, restorative sleep up between 60-90 mins on average per night.

Avoid all caffeine after 4pm (or earlier).

You can't beat exercise (at whatever level works for the individual) for getting a good night's sleep though.

I use magnesium supplements from Holland and Barrett when I go through periods of insomnia.

I'm back to having trouble sleeping again. In the last week I've been averaging 2 hours 58 minutes a day. For the month, it's only a few minutes more at 3 hours and 6 minutes.



And in the past year it averages out at 4 hours and 6 minutes.



I was doing well for a while but it has all gone to pot again in the last 12 months. I've been nowhere near my target of 7 hours 45 minutes a night
