hi Louise
I really know how you feel as I have had a year of awful sleep, why is 3am the magic number
. my sleep is improving now I am back on HRT and getting the dose better, on oestrogel, utro and just started testosterone.
one thing that helps is to realise that you won't die from lack of sleep and to try not to stress too much about it ( easier said than done I know) there is a website called insomnia coach which has some useful information and videos, also look up ACT for insomnia. One thing I found that made it worse was all the sleep hygiene hints and tips!!
some people take magnesium which can help, I think it's magnesium citrate.
really hope you find some respite soon, it really is the pits!!!
