Hello, have just joined the forum.

Have been a bad sleeper (not usingthe ins… word) for decades, notice my memory is v bad a I get older, better sleep would probably help that so joined and trying to follow the sleep improvement advice. Though have tried most things in the past. It is managing to stick to the advice which is hard!

Not really but I've had sleep problems all my life.

I've tried many solutions but I think the difficulty is with sticking at it long enough to change things. I have taken Zopiclone for years but they have stopped working recently. I would take half a tablet at 3 am to get a few more hours. So am trying to restrict time in bed but as a result so getting 4 hours a night so hope I can stick at it long enough to increase the hours I sleep. It's been a week now (with half a sleeping pill twice).

I find I get dispirited when there's no improvement and then say sod it and revert to taking pills again

I am 60 and constantly read articles saying that people need less sleep as they age which is discouraging, as that implies I have to just get on with it!

[Martin Reed]

Sleeping pills are definitely an easier 'solution' but they only work for as long as you take them, and they're not recommended for long-term use.

Although some studies suggest we need less sleep as we age, that doesn't mean we should all be living with sleep deprivation!

Don't give up.

Hi Martin,

I am having some success.

Though having had problems for so long it will no doubt take a while.

Have found it difficult to post but seem to be able to if I press a couple of time with the left button which fades the Word paste icons.

Will post on the other threads now Ive worked out how to do it! See if anyone else is at the same stage as me.
