Insomnia

For the last 8 years I have suffered with insomnia. I fall asleep fine but wake nearly every night between 3-4am. Literally where my brain is screaming at me to get up. So for years I have just got up and started my day at this time. This lead me to extreme tiredness in the day and distribution to any fitness regime. I tried most things to help me sleep bar sleeping tablets. I didn't want to go down the drug route! I visited specialist menopause doctor this year she listened and asked me to try ashwaghanda x 2 1000mg and magnesium citrate x1 500mg before I go to bed. Its been a game changer for me. I now sleep like a normal person. I have more energy in the day and can exercise. Apparently when we wake at this time its our gut waking us as its inflamed as well as hormonal I balance. Knowing this info has helped me make better food choices and sleep better. I wanted to share as you don't have to suffer. There are ways to help with symptoms.

Get a constant glucose monitor to see if it is insuline resistance. Fitness regimes while not having proper sleep recovery lead to insomnia and insulin resistance. Over exercising exacerbates peri menopause symptoms.

When I read about Ashwaghanda it said ok for short term use. Did she advise you to stay on it indefinitely? Sounds really positive that it's helping you so much. Are you on HRT at all?

@Emma (can't see waves) (Three months maximum is the general guidance for many supplements/herbal products such as this one)

Yes on HRT for 3 years. I will continue to use of it works for me.
