I have a lot of trouble with sleeping. I do take Benedryl to help me sleep, but it really isn't helping the second half of the night. I can fall asleep just fine (unless I'm dealing with anxiety) and I sleep for 3-4 hours before waking up to use the bathroom. Then, it will take me sometimes 30-60 minutes to fall back asleep and then I'm up when the sun comes up.
There are some nights that this doesn't happen and I can fall right back asleep after waking up, but it doesn't happen too often. When I don't sleep well, my body lets me know with pain. This week has been horrid for sleep and has been spent in a lot of pain all over. Even my fingers and toes hurt :???:
I'm really reluctant to take any prescription sleep medication because of all the side effects. Does anyone else deal with sleep issues and what do you do to help?
