Dealing with Sleeping Issues and Fibromyalgia

I've been having trouble sleeping/staying asleep. My doctor wants me to under go a sleep study to ensure I don't have sleep apnea before tacking on more medication. I had a friend introduce me to ashwagandha. it's a vitamin and it's actually been helpful, I haven't been nearly as fatigued, feel like I'm getting a better night's rest. I'm suffering from fibromyalgia, so this also is a natural anti-inflammatory. I definitely recommend giving it a shot.

I seriously hopes it helps. I mentioned it to my doctor and she said one of the older doctors swore by it. It can be helpful with thyroid issues from what I understand

I have heard to do two weeks on two weeks off with ashwaganda… I forget the reason, but maybe look it up?

I've done a little research but I haven't seen that. Maybe so your body doesn't get used to it? Or help your body get back on track on its own?

Glad you found something that is working for you! I would definitely recommend getting a sleep study done if sleep continues to be an issue - my oral appliance (mouthguard) for sleep apnea has been lifechanging ‐ and my sleep doc even did at-home sleep studies which made the process so much easier

yeah I'm definitely still going to do it because I do snore. Before I started taking this vitamin I couldn't even wake up when my alarm was going off, or I kept hitting snooze over and over. So far this week I've woken up before my alarm I even got up and did a yoga session yesterday morning.
