It’s past midnight (central time) and I still can’t sleep.
When we found out that Babe was sick, I couldn’t sleep. It’s already a year, 2/16/2024. I still can’t sleep. Even if I try, I always wake up at midnight and then at 2am.
I’ve taken sleeping vitamins, don’t work. I’ve taken Aleve, doesn’t work. I used to be able to drink a beer and it would help. Now that doesn’t work. My mind is always running.
To be honest, I wish there was more that I could’ve done to help Babe. I wished I had the power to take cancer away. All I did was made sure I was there for him. I made him know that I was here. I had to be even stronger for the both of us. Being strong is tiring. I used to have all the patience in the world and now I don’t have a fckn ounce in me. I would always cherish sleep and now I can’t get any. I wonder if I’ll ever have a full nights sleep.
Do y’all recommend anything?

I was a caregiver for my mom for 3 years before she passed & I am now a caregiver for my FIL they both use melatonin for sleep every night! I would start with 5 mg 30 min to an hour before you go to sleep!

Hey! Wish things were going better for you
I switched from melatonin to Magnesium Glycinate. It really does help without the residual drowsiness in the morning. It works better & is a beneficial mineral that your body needs. Hope this helps
