Laetare

“…and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect…”
~Hebrews 12:23~

My sleep has been terrible the past few weeks. I will wake up and be up for three hours at a time and sometimes even longer if I just can’t fall back asleep. Laura’s mom was a the retreat and she showed me this magnesium bar that looks like deodorant. You rub it on the inside of your wrists, over your sternum, and on your feet if you want to. Her mom recommended it to her and she thinks that it works and offered to let me try it.

I slept through the entire night. So I got the product information from her and will pick some up the next time I’m in town. Laura’s mom said her mind starts to race and that’s what keeps her up. I don’t even think that’s what happens with me. I’m conscious and tired but it’s like my brain just can’t make the switch back over into shut down mode.

So then I’m sleepy and tired the next day and don’t remember much other than that I’m awake and can’t sleep. I found someone to work my Sunday evening shift so I was able to go to the annual camp banquet. In my opinion it was one of the best we’ve had. The musician was an absolute dream on the guitar (Cumulonimbus by Adam Maletich). One of our old camp friends was the speaker and it was so great to hang out and see him.

    Yes! Magnesium! My cardiologist suggested I take Magnesium clycinate 45 minutes to an hour before bedtime. It definitely seems to be helping me fall back to sleep at 3:30am every morning!

      Oh I’m glad you found something that works for you. I have a magnesium glycinate supplement that really helps too but I have not been taking it lately.
