Sleep

My brother's sleeping meds are going to be reviewed in a month which is good. Sounds like the doc knows what he wants to try next too and my brother's quite happy about this. He seemed to have little idea about the long term effects of the med he's taking at the moment .. he used to be like a walking encyclopedia for anything like this but this has slipped his mind. Hopefully due to lack of sleep .. he'd had very poor sleep for a long time really. And now is the time to sleep and meditate I guess.

Anyway he knows now and is ok with taking it for a month and then trying this other combination of meds. He's used them before and they worked so maybe going between the older med he'd got accustomed too and this other combination will be fine. Hope so.

Maybe there's a herbal remedy he can bung down too .. though not valarian as it's not recommended if you're taking other sleeping medicines.

I'm glad he's getting more sleep though .. hope he'll be ok when he switches meds .. which should be at his next appointment with the consultant.

He has health problems so it's a good thing that he's sleeping better. I was going to suggest to him that he meditated if he couldn't get to sleep .. he knows I do .. er .. now and then .. but I think he's found it quite difficult to keep his mind still like that when he's tried before so he didn't really want to try again. I think he has such deep rooted sleep problems that he felt sleeping pills are the only way to go at the moment too. And .. he just wanted to sleep.

Anyway .. looks like things could work out now.
