Switching the timing of anastrozole is something others have tried. One MyBCTeam member shared that taking their aromatase inhibitor first thing in the morning made a big difference for their sleep. So interestingly, some people find morning works better — it may vary person to person! As for melatonin, it's a popular natural supplement for sleep. However, it's always worth confirming with your care team that the dose and form they've recommended is right for you, as supplements can sometimes interact with treatments.
Beyond these, other things that have helped MyBCTeam members include:
- Deep breathing or meditation before bed
- Limiting caffeine and alcohol
- Keeping the bedroom cool
- Warm baths or calming music at bedtime
Always follow your team's guidance before making any changes. Wishing you restful nights ahead! 🌙
