Hi all,
I have a sleeping problem and I've just about had enough of it.
I've never been a good sleeper, takes me at least 45 mins to fall asleep on the best nights, but over the past couple of weeks, whenever I go to bed I am WIDE awake - I just have to get up because there is absolutely no way I would fall asleep.
So I get up, and I don't get the tiniest bit tired till about 6am.
I have to force myself to get into bed and try to sleep (takes a while) before 4am, as I've got kids to look after in the morning....
The past two nights I tried something different, went to bed at 7:30pm and fell asleep easily (but if I try and later I can't sleep) - but didn't wake up till 8:30am when the girls woke up, and was still really tired when I woke up then - but that's 13 hours sleep - how could i be tired after that :confused:
I understand that you can oversleep, but generally you wake up at a normal time first, and are only stuffed if you keep sleeping right? Well I didn't wake up at normal time (I'd expected 5-6am, going to bed at 7:30pm).
I've tried doing exercise, no caffeine, warm drink, warm bath, oils, :ecomcity: I've tried everything and nothing is helping.
Every morning I feel like I've been hit by a truck .
Sorry this is long and all over the place but I am SO tired of this (but can't sleep!) and my mind is such a mess from weeks of hardly any sleep that i can barely think straight :banghead:
What do I do? Besides seeing my doctor?
