sleep

Been doing very good with my health anxiety lately and feeling like my old self. My only issue is insomnia now. I can get to sleep for 3-4 hours but after that it is broken sleep at best and just cannot return to deep sleep. I used to be a great sleeper!! I feel if I could return to normal sleep patterns I'd be back to my normal self.

Any ideas or tips for good sleep? I'm in Ireland and we do not have OTC sleep medication here. I've thought about asking my doctor for something but would like to try and deal with problem naturally is at all possible.

Cheers,

Hi Damo,

I am sorry to hear about your sleep issues.:( I agree with Hibee's advice, and do encourage you to practice coping skills such as meditation and Progressive Muscle Relaxation before bedtime each night.

Binaural Beats (sound wave therapy) also have a sedative effect on the brain waves, helping many to fall and stay asleep.

You can find options as apps, or stream off of youtube (there are many options, be sure to use the ones for sleep/deep relaxation)

Let me know if you'd like me to post direct links for you, and I'll do so.:)

Best wishes for a full night's sleep!
