im really fed up at the moment i go to bed at a reasonable time yet it takes me anything from 2-4 hours to get too sleep ...then b4 i know it im up with the kids and even when im dont have to get up i wake up anyway and cant get back to sleep
whenever ive seen my doctor about this its like its not anything to cause concern ..no it isnt but still i just want a decent nights sleep
i was put on amytriptaline but these made me feel to groggy through the day and to be honest didnt really help me to sleep better either as a last desperate for a good nights sleep i have had zopiclone prescribed but this is only for a week and then im back to square 1
has anyone any thoughts or ideas as to what i can maybe do to ensure a better nights sleep than what i have been having?
many thanks for reading
