Do you sleep well most nights?

Do you sleep well most nights?
Do you get enough sleep?
Do you wake up too often at nights?

Did your sleep patterns change after starting to transition?

I need to get back to sleep!

No, not at all.

But that has nothing to do with transition. It is a combination of PTSD and pain issues from spine injuries.

Progesterone helps me sleep better, allowing me to sleep more deeply and get enough rest. But I still wake up three or four times each night.

I slept better the first few nights after I started HRT. My sleep pattern is messed up from being a shift worker.

From a very young age I have always been a "night owl" and sometimes work till
early morning and finally going to bed at 3 or 4 AM to get a few hours of sleep. 

When I was younger I could do that without affecting the next day but as I get
older I am not quite as flexible with my sleep schedule although I am still a
night owl to a certain extent.

Danielle,


You are such a hoot.

Since my neighbours dog passed away in October I have needed chemical assistance to sleep. Mostly it's melatonine but sometimes I need edibles

Always  worked  shifts. Now I'm retired  in going to bed around 2300 and get up around  0530. Rarely sleep  well and often wake up too early  and can't get back  to  sleep.

I think that explains how you can tolerate months of "Midnight Sun".

I was night owl when I was younger too. I took my college classes at night. I've worked afternoons for the last 10 years which absolutely love working.
