Hi everyone 🌙

How’s your sleep been lately?

Many of us turn to sleep medication at some point to help manage insomnia, whether it’s over-the-counter options, prescription meds, or something more natural. For some, it’s a lifesaver. For others, it causes more problems than it solves.

💭 Let’s talk about it:

  • Have you ever tried sleep medications?
  • What worked for you, and what didn’t?
  • Did you experience any side effects or feel dependent on them?

I use Melatonin only and not regularly. I have no interest in prescription sleep meds. I have been keeping a rescue inhaler at my bedside, as I think that sometimes I am not awakening in the night from RA pain, but because I forgot my 2nd evening dose of my combo maintenance inhaler, and then need to use the Pro-Air. I shortly breathe more easily and can more quickly fall back to sleep!
