Re: Sleep!

Because of my "dry eye" I now sleep with a humidifier. Might that help you? Of course everything depends upon your individual needs. I also use a white noise machine. I have a trick to shut down my thinker so that I can go to sleep: I play classical music in my head, no words.

You may want to switch to an estradiol patch. And if you have a uterus, also take progesterone. Here is a link to the hormone replaceme...

It is a Phase 2b/3 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Multi-Center Study. Screening begins ...
