OT: Best herbals for getting and **staying** asleep for full 8 hours (more of my situation specifics inside)
Hey guys.
So I'm not looking for advice on sleep hygiene, exercising during the day, or meditation based falling asleep strategies.
I have good habits in all these departments. I know what my main problem is and that is the fact that I am taking lexapro (SSRI) for mild depression. Right now, the positives outweigh the negatives.
But the main negative is that it interferes with my sleep (related to increased serotonin, have read up on it). I usually only sleep 5 hours and rarely wake up feeling rested.
So I'm wondering if anyone has had success with certain herbals in helping them
Get to sleep but mainly **staying asleep** and waking up feeling rested.
I'd appreciate any feedback in this regard.
P.s. : once again, please no excerpts on why lexapro is bad for me. I'm fully aware and plan to get off of it eventually, but right now positives outweigh negatives. Just looking for suggestions on what has helped people with sleep problems.
Thanks!
