Does Anyone Have Sleep Problems?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am having trouble sleeping. I go to bed tired and then toss and turn. I do a nebulizer treatment a few hours before bed and wondered if that is what causes the restlessness. Anyone?

That's a good suggestion and I'd give it a try. If that doesn't work, talk with your doc about a sleep study to see if there aren't other things that might work.

I have sleep problems. Between 2 and 6 I am often unable to rest. Its like a billiard game. I try a number of things: 1) exercise (stationary bike) to get my circulation going and get tired. 2) eating some tiny bits of easily digestable (non sugary) food and chamomille tea - to catch the sleepy wind to dreamland. 3) Valerian root extract (10 minute interval, if I cant sleep within this window its useless. 4) Spiritual exercise or prayer (my favorite is to sing HUUUU) 5) finding the most comfortable position in bed and taking a little oxygen. Sometimes, I just have to endure until morning. Important is not to panic / get upset about being unable to sleep. Accept it without grudges
