Tired

[fallen_leaf]

I wake up at 5:30 am and all day I am dragging and yawning and fighting the urge to sleep then when it’s finally time to go to bed I toss and turn until 1 - 2 am and then the cycle begins again....

I suffer like this as well,it's horrible, fighting the sleep all day and then be ing too wired to sleep, have you tried some guided meditation to sleep? It sometimes helps me, there's loads on youtube

[fallen_leaf in reply to Hobbitj]

Yes but I have anxiety medicine to help me fall asleep. I just don’t always remember to take it or take too little. I used to have panic attacks that would wake me up when I finally did sleep but at least I don’t have those now

I could have written a similar post myself. Why do I lie there in the morning and when I wake up during the night ruminating and sloshing around in my past? I have epilepsy and it is not good for me to watch TV or read or work on my computer within one hour of going to bed, as these are triggers for a seizure. But I am trying to work on a craft so I can relax with that before bedtime. I wish I had good suggestions for you. Try to find a good counselor who can work with you. Sleep hygiene is something you could discuss with a counselor. All of it is not the same for everyone. I know most times people do suggest counseling. Can you try it to see it it helps? I wish you healing and strength as you try to solve your sleep problem.
