Post-covid sleep disorder

[Cheshire Cat]

I'm not sure if it's 100% related to covid, but it's more than a year that I wake up around 3 AM, can't fall asleep again until around 5 AM.

I can't remember the last time that I had a full night of sleep.

 

I think it's the time period of the lung meridian. What could I do? Thanks

Relaxation qigong from John Dolic.

It's not really about relaxation as I can relax deep enough to sleep on the ground if I want to... but not between 3 am and 5 am.

Thank you

You don't seem to understand that this is a cheaper and easier, accessible form for sleep and complement to sleeping qigong.

 

I guess some people don't want to get good advice, so best of luck to you.

Yes, people market yoga nidra on the same line... but it doesn't work for me.

I had post covid sleeping issues as well. Consult with TCM herbalist. Herbs turned me around miraculously.

Hi, I seem to have had good success in improving my sleep quality while using natural, alternative remedies. I tried using acupuncture a few years ago to get a good sleep and I would highly recommend it. I read that studies find these techniques do have a benefit but who knows. It said Acupuncture improves blood flow and circulation through your body.

I found a very interesting article take a look here:

I hope it will help and you will get the exact reason for your sleeping troubles.

May that be happening for a specific reason that you still may have not noticed? I'll specify with my own example: it bothered me a lot a phase that I've been through when I was a night shift worker and everytime that I was off or on leave I would wake up and feel quit alert at 2 am. After questioning myself for a long  time about the reason for that to happen I realized that when at work 2 am was the time that I was more active and the tasks required more of my attention and energy. Having understood this helped me get back to normal sleep patters.
