Interesting article on sleep quality in NYT

[Guest guest]

I just read an interesting article on sleep quality in the online

version of the New York Times.

It seems to me that one of the most destructive aspects of

mold-related illness, for me at least, was the way that it disturbed

my sleep patterns so dramatically.

Sleep is when the body repairs itself, and without good sleep, things

just fall apart.

I found that cholestyramine helped me sleep better.. (I was often

getting up in the middle of the night to take a middle-of-the-night

dose, which seemed to calm the inflammation I would feel in my upper

body quite a bit..)

Melatonin - in addition to improving sleep, also is a powerful

antioxidant.. It seemed to help me sleep..

I also found SAM-E and 5-HTP to be helpful for me.. YMMV.
