I was just wondering if anyone else suffers from sleeping problems?
More specifically, does an ED attribute to sleeping disorders? I cannot manage to sleep for more than about 2 hours at a time, and I can't find any real reasons for it - I was thinking maybe one relates to the other.
Thanks guys.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
In particular, calcium, magnesium, and the B vitamins.
Talk to your dietitian about adding in a powder Calcium-Magnesium supplement at bedtime. Even folks without deficiencies find that helps them drift right off. (pills don't get absorbed as well, but if all you can stomach are pills it is better than nothing)
A magnesium deficiency also exacerbates anxiety and depression. As does a B vitamin deficiency.
As soon as I saw that word, my exercises and ed, fighting together could be what's making me not sleep.
I saw a doc the other day for this, and he prescribed a pill for me - tastes horrible, and has a stupid bad side effect - horrible long lasting taste
Oh well, I always did like to be different!!
