I am a central serous chorioretinopathy patient and doctor has advised me to take Macugold Plus daily before bed since past 1 month. But I have noticed that my sleep has infact reduced than before every time i take this tablet. esp. when i wake up at night to pass urine, then I am alert and cannot fall asleep again. I have tried using dark glasses to avoid light on eyes but that has been ineffective too. also sometimes I am simply awake instead of deeper sleep even without passing urine (Switching lights). What could be the reason and what is the solution?
Your sleep problems may have several possible causes. While Macugold Plus is generally safe and not known to cause insomnia, some ingredients, such as high doses of antioxidants or vitamins, as well as other medications or medical conditions, can sometimes make people more alert. Waking up at night to pass urine (nocturia) can also disturb sleep, and once awake, it may be hard to fall back asleep. Light exposure, stress, or anxiety about your eye condition can make sleep lighter. To improve sleep, avoid caffeine or heavy meals late at night, keep your bedroom dark and quiet, and follow a regular sleep routine. If sleep problems continue, talk to your doctor to see if any changes or further evaluation are needed.
