I can at least fall asleep quite quickly now but have to visit the loo on average twice per night. I also feel like I dream all night and feel like I have spent the night in a film every night. I sleep really well in the morning, my OH gets up at 6.30 and I go right back to sleep and can easy sleep through to 9 or 10am.

I didn't get much last night, woke at 3.15 with a headache so eventually got up for a cuppa and medication, then was awake until nearly 6.00 a.m.

My sleep is rubbish. I usual get to sleep not to bad. But then I wake up every hour of so and I have to pee at least 3 times. I don't sleep at all if the anxiety is high.

drop off quite well. then thats it, i wake up about an hour later, needing the loo.(luckily we are in a bungalow) im now on patches for a twitchy bladder which helps. best nights sleep has been 4 hours full and un interrupted sleep. think if it was any longer id be in a coma.

I usually am a very light sleeper, and before I started HRT 50 sequel patches I was waking at 2am and couldn't go back to sleep until about 6am and then had to get up about 7.30.
Now I go to sleep really easy usually by 10pm and sleep really sound until about 7-8am I don't even hear my teenager children coming in, it must be a miracle either that or the HRT .

That's brilliant Smokey. I could never go to bed at 10 - that's my going out time - but it must be fantastic to sleep for such a long time! I found that I had to go to bed later to stop me waking up at 3 each morning so now my normal time is around 1 and I get up at 6ish but do still wake up during the night a few times. I have never slept well though so even with HRT things haven't really changed.
A hug for everyone who can't get to sleep or can't stay asleep for very long.

I've been having cheese and crackers or peanut butter and crackers just before I try to sleep and I cannot believe how much better I'm sleeping. Two hours in a row used to be it and then up for hours and now I'm sleeping longer and the total is way up. The food must stop the adrenalin/low sugar problems.

Wow Trey. I like both of those so might give it a go. I sometimes have some cornflakes. Must admit I sleep better when I do that. Never occurred to me that eating before sleep helps. Usually have had it because I'm hungry.

I don't drink after 8 but usually eat something fairly late. Since starting HRT my sleep has definitely improved. I might wake once or twice but straight back to sleep.

I drink up until I go to sleep. Tried cutting it out but it made no difference. Still had to get up for the loo. I have a coffee about 8pm. Tried stopping that to but I still woke up. Eating something before bed helps me get off quicker .... Sometimes
Anyone sleep better after sex?
