Oskar Bear Catching up on my zzzzzs because Mom and I woke up Kieran in time to have coffee and go on my walkie before his follow up for bis insomnia appt. He went to the doc a month ago and got prescribed trazodone which worked for about a week then he has had trouble sleeping again, so hopefully they find something that works for him so Mom and I don’t keep waking up in the middle of the night to discover he hasn’t gone to bed yet. I love you all!❤️🥰

@yukon_smoothcollie aw I’m sorry your Mom has suffered from insomnia Yukon, I know you’re there for her!!! My Mom had mild insomnia before me but ever since we found each other she’s slept well because I’m a great sleeper and a big cuddler and she can just hold me and listen to my peaceful snore and it puts her right to sleep! But we’re both light sleepers so if Kieran is up making noise one of us wakes up and it wakes us both up! We’re pretty sure his is stress/anxiety and then not following the tips to fix it. But they upped his trazodone prescription yesterday and he slept well last night so hopefully works!!! Also he worked online for 5 years and is looking for an in person job now because he wants to go into banking instead of software engineering and Mom and I are very supportive of this idea and think having to physically go somewhere every morning will help fix his sleep!! I love you so much Yukon!!! I hope your Mom’s sleep is getting better!❤️🥰🐾
@rockoswadinglife thank you!! Yes Mom and I are great sleepers but more of a morning person and dog so it’s hard on us to stay up late and we’re both light sleepers too. Last night we slept well but Kieran’s doctor upped his trazodone prescription so hopefully it’s the right dose now and he doesn’t just start having insomnia again in a few days. Love you!❤️🥰🐾
@j28shh6j8t885 oh that’s a smart simple tip!! We’ve heard about that for snoring but didn’t know it helps sleep in general! That’s an awesome tip because the Matress does have an adjustable and massaging base!! Last year when Mom and I moved in with Kieran and went shopping for a king sized bed Mom convinced him the fancy base was worth it!! I sure love the massage feature!! I love you!! Thanks for the advice!!!❤️🥰🐾
@stella it would be great if he would listen to Mom’s advice about no blue light or food after a certain time but he usually snacks late at night and will watch YouTube on his phone before bed… but he went to the doctor yesterday and she just upped his prescription of trazodone and he slept well last night so we’ll see how long that lasts. He worked from home for 5 years but recently applied to an in person job so Mom and I are hoping if he has to wake up early for an in person job he’ll take his sleep more seriously!! Love you!!❤️🥰🐾
Hope he finds a solution! Maybe no blue light past a certain hour and no food past 6 pm. Certain things like food and blue light can make the brain want to stay active.
Papa’s neurologist said that raising the head of your bed slightly will help you fall and stay asleep and also not have to get up to pee as much! Mom googled it and it’s true! 🤷♀️
Hope they can figure this out! Exhaustion is exhausting! Sending positivity and love! 😘
Really hope Kieran can figure out what’s going on. Not sleeping is the worst experience. Sleep is so important for one’s health too. My mom has had insomnia for many years on & off. We feel for your papa.
