Correct! Thanks for pointing that out. Use RAW and UNFILTERED honey only.
You are both welcome.
Very interesting about honey — new information to me.
I have been using up to 10 mg of melatonin — including time release — definitely helps but still will wake up and stay awake way too early.
Diphenhydramine (generic Benedryl) helps as well but lasts only three hours. I must metabolize it quickly. Even so, it seems to “come back” like 10 AM and make me groggy - not good.
Same story with the antihistimine sleep-aid doxylamine succinate — somewhat stronger for me than Benedryl but pretty much the same story. I don’t want to be comatose, just asleep until the proper time.
So back to honey — the link with cortisol (stress hormone) makes perfect sense. I really do feel stressed out when lying there not sleeping. In fact, that is the most tiring part of the day when you can’t sleep.
So does “RAW and UNFILTERED” honey have to be purchased out at the bee farm or can you find it in stores?
