Honest question but are you aware that you slept for 8 hours?? Because 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. is 8 hours. It sounds like you're angry that you didn't sleep till 7:00 a.m. which would be 12 hours. Most adults need between 6 and 8 hours of sleep a night.
Valerian root works! But to me it sounds like what you should do is stay awake until later at night and then go to bed.
I actually mean the oppositeπ I'd rather sleep at 10pm and wake up at 5am like a normal person, I try to be productive when I wake up early, do laundry, clean, etc. It's the fact that due to peri I can't workout yet until I'm on HRT, it's like I'm drained and sleeping 8 hours. When I'm in shape and training consistently I only need 6 hours. Any suggestions?
Valerian root...looking that up now! Ty!
I'll warn you now. It smells like horse shit. I used to take one capsule a night helped me relax to fall asleep
I appreciate the heads up! Good looking out! I'll be sure to see if there's a more "pleasant" version on Amazon π
Warning, a lot of stuff on Amazon is fake. I would never buy anything like that on Amazon.
I have heard of sellers putting up fake shops on Amazon, i'll be sure to shop carefully and check out some vitamin stores
Got it, thanks, may I'll check out a vitamin store.
Good choice
