Depression
"Soon after beginning menopause I began to wake up after only sleeping for about 4 1/2 hours and I couldn&#039;t get back to sleep. This became a vicious cycle where I worried that I couldn&#039;t get back to sleep which increased the anxiety which kept me from getting back to sleep. My neurologist recommended Nidra Yoga. She also prescribed 15MG of Deplin. Even though I wasn&#039;t low in folate nor was I taking an SSRI, the Deplin was just what I needed to keep me more relaxed. I also read Learn to Relax by Eugene Walker and did progressive desensitization exercises while visualizing myself relaxing and getting back to sleep. The Savvy Insomniac also helped me understand that I could get back to sleep if I didn&#039;t stress about it."
