Night Howlers - Jump on to chat if you are awake
This used to be a common theme with ladies who have trouble sleeping. BCNA started a new area, a place where lousy sleepers could connect. Is this still going ?

Hi there
These are things that have helped me in the sleep department:
1.No devices ( laptop, iPad, mobile, tv etc) in the bedroom.
2.No coffee after lunchtime.
3.Limit alcohol.
4.Exercise every day.
5.Meditation/mindfulness ( I had gone this years ago when working full time and stopped when I semi retired as I was much less stressed, then took it up again after my diagnosis )
6.Sleeping in a separate bed to my husband ( this was a big step but we both sleep a lot better now).
7. If you are on medication that gives you hot flushes , have “ layers” on your bed, never a doona and I also got a 3 speed ceiling fan installed.
