Re: queshion about sleep

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My sleep is definitely better when my hormone levels are right. In the

meantime there are plenty of sleep hygene books and sites that offer simple

things that help. Example: drink less fluids before bed. Another: turn the clock

so you can't see it from bed.

What time of day are you taking the trazodone? If it's in the morning, try

changing it to bedtime, or the other way arround. Check with your doc first.

The best way for me is to get my energy up. When I'm more active I go to bed

tired (good tired), sleep soundly & wake up refreshed. Hopefully you'll get that

when your T is right.

Bruce Thanks for the info about sleep and the trazodone Which I am

doing just that. I take the trazodone at 10pm or 11 and get up about

4:30 am sometimes okay 6:00am mostly not refereshed and I have to

admist I drink about 2-3 cups of starbucks coffee which is bad but

this before 6pm I dno' drink coffee after that.But I am cutting back

and swithching to decafenated now so will see. Well lastnight after

I came from the ER ofcourse I rook ATAVAN 1mg and trazodone 100mg

and I got good sleep went to bed at 12 and got up 5am and went back

to sleep untill 8am fragmentd but okay comparing where I have been.
