I do

LindsayLee

what are some methods you find helpful? Or are you still searching?

Overcomer

None so far. But I receive a heavy blanket for Christmas and some how it has helped but when I lay down

LindsayLee

I want one. I know it will help me. I’m glad you’re seeing a positive response with it.

Always. Had to quit my job at the end of 2021 and got on a good sleep schedule for a week and since then it has been so inconsistent.

LindsayLee

I quit my job too. I have been trying to regulate my sleeping habits but I can’t seem to get consistent. I’m always tired and don’t wake up feeling rested. No mater how much I sleep.

I’m sorry! Hang in there!!

Absolutely. I found my natural rhythm is about 17 hrs on and 7-8 hrs off. It doesn’t make for good routines

Overcomer

How did you find your natural rhythm?

This is why I always have a bottle of melatonin in my room ^.^ that stuff helps me sleep

I take melatonin and mirtazapine and they don't help me much. Didn't even know I had a YBI until last week and I've had it for a while. Hopefully treatment will help and if it does I'll post about it!
