I started taking amitriptylene about two years ago and I’m getting the best sleep I’ve had in fourteen years!! Usually about an hour after I take it, I’m out like a light and sleep for at least six and more like eight hours a night!! Doesn’t matter how I’m laying, I fall asleep!!
I am on Flexerall. A muscle relaxer. And that seems to help some nights. Other nights if u can take a bath with some lavender in it...it really does help. They also sell over the counter roll on muscle relief gels such as lidocaine. Those help if u can pin point where ur hurting. I hope u find something that relaxes u and helps u sleep! Good luck.
Depends what is keeping u up. I use a heating pad when pain keeps me up and a tens device when I feel like stick pins are poking and keeps me up. A hot tub of water helps some times. But of course there are some nights I am just restless but I've had issues with insomnia since I was a teen over 25 years. Hope you find something that will help. God bless
Melatonin is great. Try a low mg dose. Found in almost every grocery store. OTC.
I sleep with several blankets as i find different regions of my body require different things. Something fluffy across my feet and legs, something heavy across my midsection and something thin with cold side across my shoulders. I alsp prefer a heared undrrblanket as its not as overwhelmingly warm as on top. I use one if those u shaped pregnanvy body pillows because i am a side sleeper and my legs cant touch so when i roll over i dont have to readjust so much. I also had a pair of couch cushions in my bed for a while as laying on my back with my legs propped up was the best position for me to relax in. I also have add and to help calm my mind and clear my head i keep a fidget cube in hand while falling asleep so i have something physical to focus my thoughts on and it helps a lot.
