It does for most. When I first got T I was getting 3 hours a night max for about 2 months. I put on quiet rain noise through my phone now and get 7/8 hours most nights. Stay strong

Thanks. It's been terrible for 2,5 months now. I've tried everything except strong medication. Loosing my mind and my will to live.

During the worst prolonged spike in over 30 years, I averaged 2-3 hours of sleep a night. Like you, I tried a number of things that did not help.
I finally went on an AD. I was sleeping much better in less than 10 days. I went off the AD after four months. I've had no problem sleeping ever since.
Although, used as a last resort, sometimes strong meds do help. I hope that things improve for you very soon!

@jimH Can I ask you which AD you took? Still having very, very poor sleep. Very sparingly I take 0,25-0,5 Frontin (Xanax), but it does nothing. OK, quitens down my T for a couple of hours, but doesn't help with sleeping.

I used Effexor. I later found out that some members had very bad experiences with it. Just use the forum "search" and read some of the posts.
Therefore, I would suggest that you DO NOT take it. I was lucky being that it did not affect my T.

Thank you. It seems that for every good experience with anything there are tons of bad ones.
