I found a way to have a better night's sleep:
- Find ways to use up the energy. Something I need to do when I am not working my night shifts.
- Go to bed later. I recently decided that 11pm works well for me so I am not awake in the middle of the night.
- Drink 1 to 2 cups of Chamomile tea beforehand. This also could help reduce depression, anxiety according to some online research. I found that this also helps me remember my dreams. Works pretty good for me.
- Avoid alcohol and cancer sticks.
- Go to the doc and find a temporary sleeping tablet. Atm I take Zopicolone, which has a very small dosage. Small. But mighty. Works for me. This is also a big one because I used to take anti-depressants and they used to be the ones that helped me sleep. But made my mood worse after 12 years.
ATM I feel pretty groggy. But I strongly think it's the morning side effect of the Zopiclone. I'd rather feel this than not being able to sleep properly or being addicted to something. My mood is pretty good now and I feel like I am in more control.
