It is very difficult to function over time when you don't get that much needed sleep. Now some of us (like the famous Margaret Thatcher) need only 4 hours a night. Some of us can get by on 6 hours and think we're lucky with that. And yet others of us definitely need a good eight hours in order for to be 'human' and function properly and fully each new day.
Without eight hours' sleep, many of us are short fused and edgy (not in a good way), not fully functioning and just generally not very pleasant to be around (you know who you are out there - yes, I'm talking to 'you'!) It just feels like you're running on empty - if you know what I mean - and there are a lot of us out there going through the exact same thing.
Now you add into the mix (after trying to get 'yourself' through the day), taking care of the house, taking care of the kids, and the husband and let's not forget the full time job for many of us. It's a wonder more of us don't end up in some kind of asylum, if only to get a bit of a rest from it all. Oh, but then again we come back to the good old menopause and we're not sleeping properly to start with, remember - that's what making everything ten times worse than it already is.
So what's the answer? Well, you can try the herbal remedies and over the counter supplements and give them a whirl and see if they do the trick. Or you can see your doctor and have him prescribe sleeping pills - not the best route since most of them are definitely habit forming - despite how they're portrayed on the tv ads!
Alternatively, like more and more women nowadays, you can look for alternative and safe products - one's that are 'not' chemical in nature or chemical HRT (which some women can't take in any event) and sure enough, there 'will' be something out there that suits you. It's a matter of doing a bit homework, seeing which product/therapy 'suits' you personally the most and giving that a shot.
These alternative therapies can and do work, just as well as the drugs prescribed by our well-meaning doctors - you just have to take the decision to take matters into your own hands and be responsible for your own health - don't take everything as gospel what you're told by the medical profession - research and see what's out there - try out remedies which are safe and natural and those which 'you' feel comfortable with. You owe it to yourself and your future wellbeing.
