Tossing and turning...

Anyone else have a hard time sleeping through the night when on BO? I didn't tie the two together, but I was waking up 5-10 times a night a few months ago when I was on BO. I took a break for a cycle and a half, and now that I've started up again I'm not sleeping well again. I kinda thought it was other things; it was my bf who mentioned that it might be my "boobie pills."

Interesting observation, buffee!
I'm going to be paying attention to that. I don't sleep well a LOT, which I thought was just me, but I think I have noticed a really good nite's sleep the nites I DON'T take my pill. Hmmmmmmmm.

I def have noticed I wake up ALOT during the night. I will keep a note of it when I take breaks (I usually stop taking the pills for a few days when I'm on my period) I never linked the 2 together but maybe your on to something. Didn't someone say at one time that l-t can give you lots of energy maybe that has something to do with it??

Hi Buffeee...
I notice that I have to take my BO at night, and not in the morning or anytime before 3:00pm or I am very tired during the day. That means I can't split doses. but since I am taking such a low dose right now, that doesn't matter. I do notice though, that if I do not take my gaba at night bfore bed I cannot sleep.
Also, sometimes during full moon etc I use melatonin...that conks me out good...or some herbs that are good...
skullcap (very strong)
passion flower
valerian
I don't know the phytoestrogen properties of these so you may want to check them out bfore use...
btw I know I haven't been here for a while...I am still playing games with my BO...but I will measure soon bcause hubby said the other day...boy! your boobs feel big!!! that is a FIRST! I told him it was pre cycle swelling, but I hope it is not!!! I will measure in a couple of days, and take an update pic. hopefully good news.

Cool, I'm glad you're in a growing state!
I'll have to try some of the things you've mentioned. I've used Valerian, but happen to be out of it right now. Now that I think of it, I think I've missed my gaba doses a lot lately, too (I take that before bed.)
Weird that BO makes you tired. Or maybe weird that it doesn't make me tired... Herbs just wasted me energy-wise. I could have slept the majority of the day when I was taking them.

SO yep, BB makes me NOT sleep. If I take my pill any later than 7:30, I don't sleep well and if I take it around 9- I don't sleep A WINK all nite long.
WHY IS THAT??!!!
