Thank you. I would recommend magnesium to another person in my place, yet I have trouble thinking of it for myself. Magnesium will be on tonight's menu.
> I had luck in the past with serzone at night, 100 mgs., but cut that out when i went to ambien.
I can't do Serzone. I can't do mirtazepine, either.
> restorative sleep is such an issue, i feel i have only been getting it since starting ambien 8 month's ago, i hope you are able to sleep better soon....john
Yes, it is a huge deal for me, to be able to say restorative (or not). Thanks.
> btw, i also make sure to get at least 30 minutes of sunlight daily, preferably in the morning, either by walking or in my yard gardening, it resets the carcadian rythms supposedly!!
In Canada, with the higher latitudes, you get exaggerated seasonal changes in day length. Anybody north of the Tropic of Cancer sees exaggerated seasons. I know the season messes me up. But usually in a gradual way.
I will try to be more conscious of my sun exposure. Thanks.
