I was reading Marilyn Shannon's book (again) that I got when we learned
Sympto-thermal. In her chapter on Infertility in Women she has a section
on Night Lighting. I usually kind of laugh a little and think of how I
light my night light in our Master bath that makes enough light for me to be
safe getting up and down at night and then hope that's not it.
Well, I figured it couldn't hurt to look up the doctor she was
referring to which took me to this
article. Very interesting! I wonder if wearing an eye mask to sleep in
would help and then allow me to keep the night light on just in case.
A simple google
search of "sleep infertility" brought up this citing
8 bad habits that could be contributing to infertility. Yup, the first
one is staying up too late at night. Super guilty.
I've never been a
morning person and I can stay up good and late. Sometimes I feel like
it's a bad habit but most times I think my internal clock is just perpetually
off of the rest of normal humanity. I
consulted with my dr and she suggested Melatonin supplements in the evenings on
prepeak days that I needed help getting sleepy at a normal time.
So I’ll have to keep all this in mind and maybe do some more
research or bring it to my doc.
