Sleep or the lack of sleep

I’d been having a serious problem sleeping. The Dr’s wouldn’t give me anything for it because I’m over the age of 65 and they said it may cause me to fall..I sleep with the television on for the light but I started muting it, and listening to rain music, or relaxing sounds an it’s working. I am experiencing restful night sleep most of the time, after I pray…

  1. Hello I'm sorry you were experiencing sleepless nights. Do you know what was causing it? I'm glad you were able to find ways to get a good night's rest. I've been having problems sleeping due to the medication I'm on. I recently just upped the dosage of my prednisone due to my onset of slurred speech. I've been going to sleep around 2am and waking up at 5:30am. I too listen to rain sounds to fall asleep. I also discovered that aroma therapy works as well. I use an oil diffuser since it's safer than lighting a candle at night. I hope that I can get to where you are and have a peaceful night. - Jazmin (MG team member)
