Have any of you solved this issue of being able to sleep through the night?
Looking for alternate ideas besdies b vit, thyroid, cypro, etc.
This is pretty excellent advice IMO, it ticks all the boxes (sat. fat, sugar, salt, calcium). Ive taken to this, adding honey and salt** to chamomile tea - the teas has glycine, soothing/sleep promoting amino acidI used to have terrible sleep issues waking up every couple of hours each night.
I used Taurine + oj every 4hrs to stabilize my blood sugar, and drank 8 ounces of milk + 3T sugar + salt before bed.
If I woke up at any time, then 8 ounces of milk + sugar + salt, then I fell right back to sleep. It was a bit of a pain at first, but it works.
I've come to realize that if I wake up, then some stress is involved, so I need to take measures to resolve those issues immediately.
I have an opposite kind of problem: I can't get my sleep below 9-10 hours without feeling fatigued.

Yeah I will have to scrape up some money for the tests.Per your last thread about temps, iron deficiency with or without anemia as well as hypothyroidism can cause hypersomnia. Another reason to perhaps figure out your iron status.
I know a few users who had to sleep way too much (greater than 8 hours) to function and taking iron fixed this excessive need for sleep (not including the other things it helped them with). Douglas Ek or something similar and also Kingpinguin. Also it has helped me as well in that department when I have used it in the past.
I should have mentioned in my op that I can sleep 8 hours fine - if I go to bed around 5 or 6 am I'll get up at 2 pm like clockwork.
I don't have insomnia my body's desired sleep schedule is just insane.
It sounds like from fantasy world to me. I have sleep diary for 2 years now and I haven't had a single night that I slept thorough. Sometimes I wake up only once but it's very rarely, most nights it's 2-3 times per night. And all the sleep hygiene stuff I have been doing for years, it does nothing. In fact, I agree with clinical psychologists that it's basically just a crap and as long as there is something wrong with your sleep drive and arousal, all the sleep hygiene in the world would never make any difference. I include into sleep hygiene all those dark room, cold room, eat before bed certain foods, no screens, no blue light, sunlight in the morning, going outside in the morning, all the herbal stuff etc. But I would like to try CBT for better sleep though, it's the only thing I haven't tried. Then again I think that maybe some people are just lucky with sleep..
Why I always remember thenNo one sleeps a full 8 hours. It’s natural to wake up multiple times a night very briefly after a full sleep cycle, but most people don’t remember it.
