[QUOTE="Everydaystruggle, post: 90993, member: 16016"] I’m a patient of Defy and Dr. Saya. Little over 2 months ago we did a saliva test to check my cortisol levels and was told it was quite a complex case, and so much so that he wanted to make sure that intact i labeled my containers right, which I assured him I did. And that my cortisol at its highest was also at 12am. I was put on 500mg of rhodiola in the morning to help give me a boat because my cortisol was low at 8am. And the at dinner time taking 30mg of pregnenolone and 200mg of [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Lato]Phosphatidylserine. Unfortunately I believe this whole cortisol issue is extremely effecting my sleep quality and my health. I have zero problems falling asleeping but every night around 12-1 I wake up. And am up off and on through the old night. And also in a very very light to sleep. To the point where it doesn’t even feel like I sleep. I’ve tired melatonin, time released melatonin, magnesium as well, Benadryl, zquil (which worked the best but far from great) just to try and get some sleep. I know if I could get some quality sleep I would feel so much better then I do now and be able to function. Every now and then when I’m able to for whatever reason, get a tiny bit better sleep at night, although not great, I feel so much better. I just don’t know what to do. My next blood work is in about a month but my appointment probably isn’t for another 2 months due to the cortisol test taking longer to get results and then depending on how far Dr. Saya is booked. I really don’t want to take any prescription medication like ambien or anything as I feel that’s not treating the underlying issue but I really need to sleep.
