When people list their NSV (Non Scale Victories) improved sleep apnea and snoring are often mentioned, and sometimes before reaching a heathy BMI. Sometimes just a few weeks of reduced inflammation can help.
Phyllis, have you tried Melatonin? I have problems waking in the night and not easily falling back to sleep. Read that larger doses of 3 or 5mg. do not necessarily work better. So for a few years I took the 500 mcg (or 1/2 mg) chewable from Trader Joe's when I woke up. Then read about Time-Realease or Sleep Cycle versions of Melatonin, NOW and Natrol sell it. I use the 1mg dose (there are 3 mg versions too) but about 1/2 is released when taken, the rest time-released. Feel better about taking it than a Benedryl
