I’m really struggling with staying sleep. I have no problem falling asleep but I will always wake up after 4 - 5 hours and it’s not enough. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations? I exercise daily. I don’t drink caffeine. I eat well. I take melatonin. What else can I do?

It was recommended that I take magnesium glycinate. Glycinate is the important part. Magnesium citrate has a laxative effect.

Just ordered some - thank you!

Could be “Maintenance Insomnia”. If so, no medical treatment that I’m aware of- needs Cognitive Behavior Behavior Therapy (CBT-I). A few CBT resources can be found online.

Thank you, I didn’t realize there was a specific name for it. I’ll start researching it.

I had same issue but it was every 2-3 hrs. I’d go to bed earlier but it was still same problem. Very frustrating. I read somewhere about getting up at same time every day and that helped me big time. What I did was wake up 5am M-F no matter how early or late I went to bed. From there I was able to sleep 5-6 hrs without interruptions, wake up then fall back asleep for another 1-2 hrs.

Other things I did was avoided consuming anything that would force me to stay awake or force me to become sleepy. The other thing that was avoiding naps in afternoon. On occasion yes, but not frequent because they do mess with sleep.

Thank you. I’m glad I’m not alone and that there’s hope.

Unvaccinated people need to stop with the “but if you’re vaccinated why do you care” argument. Unvaccinated people are akin to drunk drivers. Even if I am sober and wearing my seatbelt, a drunk driver could still cause serious harm to me, my family, and those I care about. An unvaccinated person has a higher likelihood of catching and spreading Covid to others because they are cowards who care only about themselves. You are harming other people.

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing.

I don’t think that most people they find in the lake went in it willingly. Water makes it too easy to cover up murders. Washes away evidence. But it’s dismissed because most people they found had also been drinking. But people just disappearing miles away from the Lake don’t just fall in it. Yes, suicide happens. But many of these cases show zero signs of anything like that. The constant MO is being out with friends having fun. The friend vanishes. Then is found in the lake weeks later.

Hypothetical scenario but I want to see your opinion. Pretend I have two offers one offer is from a large company like Cushman & Wakefield and another is from a smaller company (~500-1000 employees). Let’s say the pay and benefits are slightly better at the smaller company and is closer to me than Cushman, but I still haven’t decided yet.
Since Cushman is more known and larger company, should I take their offer or the smaller company’s? Like does it look better on resumes?
