I'm going to mix some together tonight before bed to keep by my bed in case I need it.

I have had issues with waking early and it's usually due to hormonal issues. Recently I have been waking about an hour early, but this morning it was 2 hours early. I made up a batch of the salt/sugar, but it didn't work for me. I always wake hot. The ceiling fan recently broke so I can't use that. I am going to put a fan close to the foot of the bed tonight to see if that helps. If it does, the ceiling fan will need to be replaced. LOL I have also used Hyland's Menopause formula off and on. I need to get it back out again. LOL. Geesh, it's always something.

Coming off progesterone seems to have helped me. (Had a hysterectomy)
Changing seasons (cooler weather) has been a big help lately. I do still wake up sometimes, and my sleep isn't the best even with meds, but good sleep habits do seem to help. Meditation, fitness in general, yoga, Melt Method, yoga nidra, etc., all seem to be beneficial, but I've slipped out of the habit and it shows in my sleep. For me, doing something sorta quiet in the hours immediately before sleep is a help, no matter what it is. Too much tv or internet does disrupt things. Sometimes it feels as though 'doing everything I can to get a decent night's sleep' is a full time job. The routine of it can be a problem, because my life is sometimes erratic and not supportive of a routine sort of existence. (Live with an elderly parent who needs care at awkward moments all the time. Not great for maintaining routines.)

my main problem is I am afraid to not get up and go to the bathroom during the night because I have had dreams of peeing and the dreams have sparked a couple of accidents.
Usually, I fall right back to sleep but do have the nights where the *second sleep* theory seems to kick in. Barb S
