Randall replied to Christopher Haskins's discussion Sleeping Aids...."Wow, great sleep ideas. Thanks Christopher.
I find that light-moderate exercise also helps me sleep deeper. Since I was dx'ed w/ sleep apnea in '07, my cpap also helps. Slowing down & doing relaxing things for an hour…"
Christopher Haskins replied to Rick J's discussion Cymbalta can cause sexual issues"Greetings,
