Sleeping aids
100’s of melatonin sleep aids are available over the counter- but do they work?
My opinion:
It all depends on the person, the dosage, the reason for insomnia, and the quality of the supplement! I’ve tried numerous different brands that were “highly ...
Melatonin
I’ve gone through a few bottles of this over time. If you’re looking for a more natural remedy, this OTC one is worth a shot. I’ve tried numerous treatments for insomnia but there are few that I repeat at the end of the bottle. I’ve read it’s not a g...
Biote® Best Night Sleep
Sleepwear
100% Cotton PJ’s are a must
Always check the tag for the fabric for 100% cotton- no blends. Blends can cause night sweats which disrupts sleep. VS always has a great selection of desirable choices of pj’s.

Tempur-Pedic
We chose this Sealy for a few reasons.
-Pricepoint
-Firmness
-Options available locally

Hormones
Hormones can play a big role in your sleep patterns. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) comes in many forms. There's so many choices but I started with labs to see exactly where I stood what I needed, then I went from there. Here's what I've tried ...
I have had several rounds of the implanted pellets with only one side effect- weight gain. I loved the ease of not having to remember to take daily pills. Every 3-4 months, I got a new round of pellets inserted. The procedure was not fun but not horr...

We keep the temperature set to 68-72 depending on the outside temperature. Using a thermostat that is programmable is a smart way to save money on your bills. Even a few degrees makes a difference in your electric bill. Believe it or not.
