You & your gf can also try unisom. It's an over the counter sleep aid. It's always helped me but I dnt get beat up in my sleep but I do sleep with 3 dogs climbing on me & all over the bed
Your partner is likely not sleeping well either. Are they snoring or just restless? Sometimes this can be caused by sleep apnea. The lack of oxygen causes them to move about and kick. Your partner probably needs a sleep study to see why they are so restless in their sleep. Once your partner is sleeping, you should be able to sleep too!
They make a time release melatonin that really helps you to stay asleep.
Any idea were I could get some from
I found it both at walmart and walgreens.
Hi, i have used Melatonin in the past with good results. One thing to remember, is that your bedroom needs to be as dark as possible, this will help the Melatonin work most efficiently. Wear a sleep mask if you can. You can get it in various strengths, such as 3mg, 5mg & 6mg. You shouldn't exceed a 6mg dose. It might be a good idea to try 3mg to start with? It may take a little while for it to get in to your system, so if it doesn't work straight away, give it time.
Getting to sleep isn't the problem it's being woken up 8 times a night from being bunched . Just wanting summt to knock me out so I can't feel it or just carry on sleeping
It helped me sleep through the night. Much better than usual. I am a very bad sleeper, but the Melatonin helped a lot. Unfortunately i can't get it where i live now.
Hello Griffiths82. Yes it certainly can help you get a sound nights sleep. The results varies from one to another. Regards pledge
A bigger bed with memory foam helps too. Did for us... mary
