Things I Love

These following things have helped me to sleep better at night...that is why I Love Them.

1)  2)  3)  4)  5)

1) Soft blankets

I love soft blankets. They really do help me to sleep better. I do not sleep with comforters anymore. I sleep with soft blankets.

2) Sound machine

This is one of the best investments for me. I do not like complete silence to sleep...I hear every noise in the house and outside. This constant air conditioner like sound has saved me.

3)  Sleeping mask

I just started using one of these this past week. I have seriously slept better this week than I have slept in the past fifteen years. This is an amazing thing. I purchased this sleeping mask because it allows room for your eyes. I cannot stand my eyelashes touching anything.

Cam and Michael joke with me that it looks like a bra

4) Melatonin

I began this years ago when I started having difficulty sleeping because of anxiety. I only take this when I cannot get to sleep (which is not often lately), or when I go away from home on camping or vacation trips.

5) Magnesium

I began taking 250 mg. of magnesium 3 x's a day about two years ago. This has helped eliminate anxiety almost completely, plus it helps me to have better bowel movements. It also helps me to sleep at night all the way through. I also began having Cam take this at night too, as he was having trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep through the night. It has solved this for him as well. If he forgets to take his magnesium, he will often not sleep through the night.
