Poor sleep

Ursula
over 4 years ago

Hello everyone,

I had been suffering from poor sleep for a while, but recently made some changes which started to improve it (eg not having caffeine after 12 p.m and using a weighted blanket). However, the massive change to my routine, brought about by the lockdown, seems to have really damaged my sleep quality. I can fall asleep ok, but I keep waking up too early, with my mind buzzing so much that I am unable to go back to sleep.

If anyone has any recommendations of methods they've used that have improved their sleep, I'd be grateful if you could share them. 

Thanks :)

    I have stoppped using caffeine after my 1st coffee in the morning and then go decaf the rest of the day and try and limit that not after 12pm. Also, i cut down sweeetners Splenda which i read wasn't good for autism. Also, i use Lavender at night to try and sleep and also Sleep  Better mist spray on my pillow which seems helpful. I have also sometimes use Bliss Lights Blue stars on my ceiling to try and help me, but I don't use that every night.
