Hello everyone,

How are you today? emoticon cute

The COVID-19 lockdown imposes a change in our pace of life that can be detrimental to the quality of our sleep. Sleep plays an essential role in the proper functioning of our immune system and is an ally in the face of the coronavirus epidemic.

Are you sleeping well lately? Are you experiencing insomnia?
Are you using dietary supplements to help you fall asleep faster or to improve the quality of your sleep?

Is the lockdown and self-isolation a source of anxiety for you?

Feel free to share your feelings, fears and doubts, as well as your tips and tricks for falling asleep faster!

Take care,

Courtney

@Sandra3 thanks for the advice I will look at the government site again. I sleep well I get my shopping delivery ok each week so we are ok for food. I am retired so do not work anyway. I do miss certain things I cannot go out and do but I know i am doing what’s right right for me during the virus problems. The thing that really annoys me is not being able to see my family when I want to. All but one live a distance away . And the one closest is also self isolating due to health issues she also has asthma. But luckily I have access to FaceTime with them all.

Had problems sleeping for many years. Sleep aid tablets don't make me sleep, but when I do I can't wake up and I'm just so lethargic after. My arthritis doesn't help as I'm continuously having to move my legs. Maybe a bit of Restless leg syndrome. Get quite agitated sometimes especially when I'm really really tired and can't remedy it.

I got a letter from my GP to stay in for 12 weeks, because I have COPDand other chronic illness, my sleep is gone to hell restless at night can't settle, I have a form of brittle bones and supposed to walk as much as possible th keep my muscles strong to support my bones, but now my legs are hurting and weak, I am afraid to go out without a proper mask N95 to hopefully keep me safe.

I've had no letter stating to stay in . I have COPD, DIABETES TYPE 2, FIBROMYALGIA, AND POLYCYTHAEMIA. When I call my GPS they say it's not up to them to send out letters ? Do who do I contact? Any suggestions pleas
