I used to be able to sleep like it was my job. Those days are long gone. Nothing helps me sleep anymore. My THC gummies used to work wonders but the insomnia got worse and now nothing short of xanax helps. I have done all the obvious things…exercise, no caffeine or sugar, winding down earlier at night etc to no avail. Fortunately I work from home so I can catch a brief nap during the day. And yes, I have forgone naps in order to sleep hard the following night–that doesn’t work either. Is there some secret technique, pill, whathaveyou that my menopausal friends know about and can share? Do you have something other than what was mentioned above that works for you. I’d love to know. I’m willing to try.

    The only thing that helped me was HRT mostly estrogen. I did everything you did except smoking weed, including Ambien, Xanax, gabapentin, thc gummies and more.

    I’m now on 2 (1mg) patches and 200mg progesterone and sleeping 6-8 hours a night. Progesterone doesn’t work for me without estrogen. Hope this helps.

    I think I confused who is the OP
