haha, I just looked out the window and saw a beautiful sunrise, and realized I am going to have a new friend named Dawn on this COL journey!

It really is nice to see the dawn after years of being a night owl and late sleeper.

But I would really like to go back to my normal sleep patterns, and leave Dawn to the early workers, bakery delivery drivers etc.

I just started hrt a few days ago, how long does it take to have normal sleep again?

"Tiredheidi"....i have the same friend! lol ..... "Dawn Neversleep" .....

HAHA

tiredheidi......never underestimate the power of insomnia and menopause!

many people here will tell you they go through the same problems with sleep...me being one of them.....I go through good and bad phases due to heat from my overworked adrenal glands and stress and anxiety because of my husband and his job!

There are many things that have worked for me over the last 4-5 years, but they only work briefly then the old 'middle of the night wakings' re-emerge!

So.....all I can say to you is try and keep a calm, stress free life (ha, ha!) eat well, keep off too much alcohol (wine in my case) and late night sugar/stimuli and you might just turn out OK......inbetween, just ride the storm and we'll be here to support you!;)
