How often and what specific sleep aids are you guys using.??
I sleep great for the first 4hr or so no matter what time i go to bed or how long I've been up , at around 4hr i just wake up then sleep is very broken where i dose off for 20-30 min then wake up again.
Its been like this for YEARS and now that im getting older id like to get a bit more quality sleep. The only way i can sleep more then 4-5 hr is if i take something like benadryl. With the research they have linking benadryl to dementia i damn sure don't wanna take that much (it runs in my family)
I don't take any stimulants or caffeine for 6 hrs before bed , cut out all "blue and white" light for a couple hrs before bed. Take my Paxil , ashwaganda and 5mg melatonin amd 600mg magnesium glycinate and 2iu GH about 30 minutes before bed (this definitely helps) my training is done generally 4-5 hrs before bed and i no ling have sleep apnea.
Unfortunately with my job i can't take anything with THC or CBD which works GREAT for me but simply can't risk losing my job.
So im wondering what any if you guys use to help stay asleep , my PCP says that "thats just your normal sleep pattern" so im wondering if this could be true or would it be worth trying a prescription sleep aid and if so which one that won't leave me groggy all day.
