The first step toward good sleep is to make sure you are breathing well while sleeping. Sleep apnea will prevent good sleep. Maybe your husband can tell you what he observes when he is awake and you are asleep. If you are tired during the day, this is a sign of poor sleep.

I have a strict sleep hygiene I use to sleep well. I only wear cotton pajamas. They give me a consistent soft feel against my skin. I also have a pillow top mattress with a pillow top mattress pad so I feel cozy. I do not lay in bed if I am tossing and turning. I will get up and watch some TV until I start to doze off then I get back in bed. My goal is to be able to fall asleep within a few minutes of getting in bed. You will need to experiment to find what's best for you to feel comfortable in bed.

Your neuro is uninformed about hormones and PCS. Here is a link to the thread where EsthersDoll discusses hormones. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread202646-2.html

Hope this helps. Kaiser can be frustrating.

My best to you.
