Sleep stages

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi, everyone, I read up and watch everything I can related to this nasty Fabriomyalgia, now experts say that we never get to the grade 4 stage of our sleep, hence constant tiredness, yesterday I noticed that one member had commented on this, and also advised of what we are lacking when we don't get that much needed sleep and that there is a supplement that we can take, unfortunately my laptop had not backed anything up so have lost the post! 😐 Anyone else see it? Please reply

      No problem Denise, it's the lack of melatonin that makes us so tired and I know you can actually buy it as a vitamin, so I'm going to try that xx

    Melatonin will help you sleep but as they posted it depends on which one you take. I didn't have much success with the one I tried so I started doing magnesium. I had trouble staying asleep cause pain would wake me up several times a night. It helped by working as a muscle relaxer without the side effects. It stopped the restless leg and let me sleep.

      Hope it helps. I take magnesium calcium and zinc combo cause magnesium can deplete the other vitamins. 2 pills an hr before bed do the trick. On really bad days, in a flare, I also do a detox bath. It's a mixture of baking soda and Epson salt. I do the lavender Epson and it helps relax me even more.

    If your looking for a more natural approach I read that tart cherry juice can naturally help your body relax to assist with better sleeping. I have been drinking 8 oz at about 7 pm for the last week I don't get in too deep of a sleep but I can sleep a little longer and awake feeling more rested.
