    I understand. I get the same way. It can be so dreadful. Maybe getting up and having a warm cup of tea, then, try sleeping again.

    My naturopath suggested for me to take 30 drops of valarien tincture in water before bed. Also, 10 mg melatonin. I have only tried it a couple nights, so far, so good. Hang in there hon. I do hope you find what works for you.

    Sending strength and light.

    I am still awake after trying to get to sleep. I'm the same, just start to drift off then jolt awake. It's a horrible feeling like you've stopped breathing or something and then the panic sets in and then get afraid to go to sleep! Here's to a happy ending  some sleep 😴!

      I don't know. I might mentionto my doctor also. I agree I think it is worse when you're so tired and really need to get sleep. Do you just wake up or feel like you have give a little gasp?

    Magnesium at night will make a huge difference. It has done wonders for me. Make it a nightly ritual and you will see a huge difference. The capsules work great but some people like the powder version that you add to tea or hot water. Also add some lavender oil to your pillow and that will also help your sleep to be much deeper. Trust me, I’ve been there and this really helps!! Valerian root is also great as well but we all benefit from magnesium in our system, I hope you give it a trysmile

    So sorry you are still having trouble. Another person mentioned magnesium. I agree, I used to take that, but, it didn't agree with me. But..I now use it in lotion form to help my aching muscles. Also, for the other benefits. Too many to mention, but recommend you look into it.

    Good luck.
