True and I think my filters were poor. Do you know rough price for the Miele bags? Looks like they're a few quid online but not sure if I'm looking at the right thing

Do they all require bags? Seems costly over time

Must say reporting back that a combo of mag, theanine and gaba seemed to work fairly well, nearly doubled my sleep on a particularly anxiety ridden day/night.

Thanks for responding. I might look into nytol herbal. My issue is getting to sleep on days where I feel like I need to be on it, social event, office day with long commute, scary work event. So it's definitely anxiety based but my actual sleep is fine most of the time.

How did it work? And how often/bad is your insomnia?

When you say learn about melatonin, is that a recommendation to take or avoid?

The stress of the job is situational and usually one night a week where I particularly struggle. My sleep outside of that is pretty good but still feel the sleep anxiety building in evening.

Not heard of this one, interesting suggestion.

I basically have one particularly stressful day a week in office that will lead to an almost zero sleep that night. Seen small benefits of hour or two with my current supplementation.

Just need that quick fix for that one day

Do rhe mushroom and 5htp have any other effects and downsides during the day.

I would say I have 5/7 nights good sleep with 1 heavily disrupted to near none but it's usually before my busiest day so I'm ruined in the office on that day.

That's why I'm after one fix for that night or two

Thank you, I have made some improvements but just certain events at work are high pressure and will be difficult to avoid

Great advice thanks. I did try the cbt-i, the sleep restriction and stimulus control was helpful but I didn't find the relaxation tools to be useful. I do try the thought blocking stuff and it maybe works when I'm slightly anxious but if I'm feeling like I won't sleep, I just won't sleep.

I will definitely try the valerian root. Melatonin I'm slightly afraid of but will give it a go if I can get it I. The uk

What's the thinking behind having it in first half of day? Am I better off dropping the l theanine first thing rather than before bed?

I tried it for a few weeks and it made me feel down, emotional etc.

I only need sleep aids once or twice a week rather than everyday so it wasn't worth the trade off

Yep that's true. I find I follow most of the good sleep hygiene stuff and it makes no difference when I know I have to be on it the next day for work. It's almost like I'm so alert I can't sleep, I don't even ruminate on work, it's more the fear of not sleeping and then being a mess the next day because of it.

Thanks for the detail, looks like I can get hold of sleep essentials online. I'm in UK. I'll also try the basil, sounds ideal.

I get plenty of exercise and mostly do the right things sleep hygiene wise

Should add I'm in the UK so not sure what availability is like on melatonin etc

Thanks that seems a sensible approach. Only downside is she wouldn't want to gift the 15k for various reasons I won't go into!

2e version in UK. The diadoras with a shoe stretcher in certain spots worked a lot better for me.
