Really interesting Liz, I’ll definitely take a look at all of this. I so appreciate your sharing of factual details covering health issues. One thing that has been a game changer for me is a SAD (seasonal affective disorder light). As someone who’s always struggled to fall asleep, DNA testing proved I don’t produce much melatonin naturally - I’ve used Liposomal melatonin (great but not sure long term) and even cough medicines etc. I bought a SAD light on Amazon to try for a friend who gets depressed in winter. The amazing thing was from that very first night I started to feel naturally sleepy at 10.30pm (normally could go till 1 or 2am before that). From then on I’ve made it part of my wake-up routine. As soon as I’m up I put it on, get a cup of tea and have it facing into me while I’m online doing my stuff, try to do this for 45mins/1hr. I’ve had the odd night where I’ve struggled but this has created a definite change. I’ve also found it’s changed the level of sleep, I dream more and am aware of the dream too. Also use a moulded neck support pillow in a silk case. Can’t use ear plugs unfortunately as they create sinus/ear problems for me.

That's great! Thanks so much for sharing

Do you take your progesterone tablet at night also Liz? I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea so sleep is disrupted, I cannot tolerate the CPAP machine, that thing is a torture device, however there have been studies showing progesterone at night can help reduce the amount of apneas at night. Perhaps this is something you could cover in a video sometime. Thank you for all you do for us. ❤️

Where do you get that test from please?

@@juliafusco6430 I will look into Dr Andrew Weil. Thank you for sharing Julia.

@@meercat70 what test Meer Cat ? Do you mean for Sleep Apnea? If so, you go to your GP first, they will refer you to a hospital or sleep centre for an overnight test.

Thank you!

The Dr has stopped my sleeping tablets after 30 yrs combined with the menopause it’s been a nightmare! You read my mind as I desperately need help on this before I go completely loop the flipping loop! 🥰

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Glad you found this video helpful and do check out our other videos!

[@sarahbailey1124]

I am with you on this totally. Slept well but with tablets until they were stopped mid August and since then, I have had very few good night's sleep. I am menopausal but don't have many other symptoms now other than not being able to sleep!

@@sarahbailey1124 It’s comfort to know I’m not the only one, but waking up early feels like such a lonely hour!!! Wishing you comfort & Sweet Dreams! 🤗

My gynaecologist has recommended tryptophan at bed time and said for me to carry on with my magnesium. She has prescribed me estrogel but wants me to try the tryptophan and magnesium first for two weeks before starting on the HRT.

[@lizearlewellbeing]

We have lots of resources on HRT on our website if you have any questions!

[@summersun2828]

@@lizearlewellbeing thank you. Xx

[@jacquelinefoote8081]

Love this so much one question though what about your HRT?❤

[@lizearlewellbeing]

HRT can be helpful for improving sleep!

[@jacquelinefoote8081]

@@lizearlewellbeing yes I’m on hrt lenzetto spray and utrogestan would it be worth taking these supplements aswell because I really really suffer with menopause insomnia and I’ll try anything.

[@nic4995]

Thank you, will try some of your tips. How much mg of magnesium do you recommend?

[@lizearlewellbeing]

The magnesium here is from Strong Nutrients and is 200mg - use LIZLOVES for 12% off strongnutrients.com/products/magnesium-rocks?variant=36449561510053

[@meercat70]

I use herbal natural tablets, beaded eye mask, CBD oil drops, lavender oil or Parma Violets to make me think of FairyLand to help me sleep. 🧚‍♂️ 🧚‍♀️ 😴

[@lizearlewellbeing]

Lovely!

[@jacquelinefoote8081]

Can you take progesterone with these supplements?

[@lizearlewellbeing]

You should be able to but do check with your healthcare provider as we're unable to offer individual medical advice ❤️
