I was trying benedryl for a while and that's touch and go. I also tried 5-htp. That makes my mind tired, but not my body. I also started eating every two hours during the day. I've heard that can help maintain blood sugar and help with cortisol spikes. My heart rate has gone down.
I still have the weird thing where I don't ease into sleep, but rather my mind is tired and my body is awake. Unless it's 7 am and then my body starts to want to sleep on its own.
Some times I wake up in the middle of the night with a racing heart, and sweating and I can't get back to sleep.
The more I sleep the more I feel my body working normally again. Every night I don't I feel like I have backtracked in my progress.
I am currently on famvir and that is not really known to cause insomnia.
This is worse the closer I get to my period. (So this is defiantly hormone related)
Any suggestions on hormone related sleep problems?
