Have really struggled sleeping for the last few years. Went in to my family practice doc and he suggested doxapin which helps but doesn’t do anything for a major issue which is flinching awake right when I’m about to fall a sleep

I exercise 5 days a week, I’m in pretty good shape.

We easily ruled out coffee and alcohol… we talked about routine and blue light from TV…


Eventually we went a sleep doc for a study. The jitters kept me up like usual I got 2.5 hours of sleep. O2 levels always high

Guess what they prescribe, yep a mask strapped to my face was their solution. Knowing fully well that was garbage I went back to my own research….

Turns out all the water I drink after workouts didn’t replace lost electrolytes.


Now I drink Some gator aid at night (along with some magnesium supplements) and the flinches are gone 😅

C-pap… what a freaking joke
