I can relate, Cherie. I'm a light sleeper and just the cat walking by my bed (on the carpet) can wake me up. Combine that with my two boys who seem to get up to use the restroom more than I do at night and I'm awakened several times!
But, like you, I can now go right back to sleep whereas before I was awake for hours.
And, I'm finding I don't need my daily nap anymore. I do go to bed relatively early....9-10 PM. But I get up early, too...5-6 AM. Guess I just don't need a lot of sleep.
I've noticed since starting LDN that my fatigue has been greatly reduced. At the beginning my leg pain (right leg) went away but it's back again today. Nothing terrible...just annoying more than anything. I'm hoping that the longer I take it the better my right hand will get - it's been numb since October of last year. I'm thinking it might be permanent but you never know.
I'm still a little tipsy...especially when walking outside or in a store with high ceilings and flourescent lighting.
But, I feel better. Physically and emotionally. And if I get nothing else from LDN but a slowing of the progression of this disease I'll be satisfied.
