Re: Insomnia

Morning Summer I haven't found any cherry juice yet, but what Sage said about the menopause has given me an aha! moment

Re: Insomnia

Morning Pixie....well its not menopause with me I'm too old for that....it could be house move though although I don't feel stressed....it might be that.

Re: Insomnia

I'm way too old for menopause too. But the inability to sleep started in peri-menopause, my early 40s. The hormones were out of balance, and it got worse and worse as time went on. For the short time I was on hormone replacement therapy I was able to sleep. When my sister got breast cancer from her HRT, I stopped taking mine. Then I remembered I had the same problem sleeping shortly after my period first started when I was a kid. I remember thinking at the time that I was too young to have trouble sleeping. If my blood sugar drops too low in the middle of the night I wake up and can't go back to sleep. So I always have a protein source an hour before bed. For me it's all about finding the right balance. And stress does make a difference, too.

Re: Insomnia

Pixie Amazon sell Biona Organic Tart Pure Cherry Juice if that's any help.

Re: Insomnia

I looked this up. It is pure cherry juice, but I didn't see that it said it was concentrate. This is important. I tried several brands that were not concentrate. They didn't work. Amazon also has the Dynamic Health brand with the serving size of 2 oz. That's the one that works.

Re: Insomnia

Thanks to you both - I really appreciate this info! I have ordered some tonight, and fingers crossed it does the trick!

Re: Insomnia

Please get back to us and let us know how you get on knucks. If you can stay awake long enough.

Re: Insomnia

I imagine it will take a few nights to kick in....but yeah, I'll report back!

Re: Insomnia

I would be interested to see if it works too....I'll order some once I'm moved with a delivery address.

Re: Insomnia

Ugh, it can't arrive quick enough, Summer...I was up again at 3 due to fireworks going off (can you believe it??) which scared the dog. Managed to get a nap, but now I'm fuzzy headed.
