Sleep is such an issue for me, it really has been most of my life. when you sleep well and fall asleep fast I imagine you don't give sleep much thought. But if you are like me and sleep almost never comes easy its what you think about a lot! Here is the thing too if you are a migraine person then most likely sleep is even more important since lack of sleep or even too much sleep is a trigger. Last night I started taking valerian root. I am unclear if this works right away or has to build in your system, depends on what I read its different. Last night at 9:30 I took 2 hoping to fall asleep by 10 or 10:30, hahaha funny! at 10 i took a muscle relaxer at 11:30 I took 2 unisom I think I finally fell asleep around 12:30. Now I did stay asleep after that I think but when the alarm goes off at 5:45 its not enough sleep. I feel ok today so that is a good thing. I try so hard to fall asleep with out medicine but almost never do. Tonight I have taken a hot bath at 7 used a sleep essential oil blend on my skin I am going to use our massage chair and listen to relaxation music along with taking 3 valerian root, Last night I took 2 and the bottle says you can take up to 5, I am trying so hard not to take high powered stuff to sleep but sometimes I dont have time for the hour and half of bath, massage chair ect. and even then sometimes that doesnt even matter. I hope this migraine streak is over and I can resume my life! I see such a difference in the muscles I have worked so hard to build. It has been about 3 weeks since I have had my 5 day a week work outs. Well I will get a work out in tomorrow and next week I will shoot for 6 that week! wish me luck!
