HELP I CANT STOP SLEEPING!!!!

[bluepanda126]

Hi everyone. recently i posted about not sleeping for like 2 weeks straight, well happy to say I finally got some sleep. However now I cant stop sleeping , I am self employed so I mainly work at night, however usually I go to bed around 1 am i sleep until 6 am I get up get ready for the day figure out my schedule for the day, then 9:30 am hits and I exhausted (I'm used to an early morning schedule usually) so then I sit down I always tell myself "you were up early and you work late maybe take a tiny nap" but when my alarm goes of I turn it off without even realizing it. Then I sleep until 8 or 9 pm get up frustrated with myself that I wasted the day I go work from 9:30pm to usually 12:30am and then go home and sleep. I don't know what to do I've tried staying up and I always end up falling asleep.

I have family coming in a week for a very late Christmas and I cant have this weird sleeping schedule when they are here, plus this sleeping all day isn't healthy. What do i do? 🥱😴😕😟😭

I was like this when I worked nights and I go through these patterns ive started to take iron tablets and vitamin d and they've been brilliant and actually sorted a sleeping pattern xxx

I do have an iron deficiency i guess i didnt think that could be a factor thank you

[Natsteveo in reply to bluepanda126]

That could be why then if its low it effects our sleep pattern and everything mine was right off till I started the iron

[bluepanda126 in reply to Natsteveo]

It’s called anemia if you are really lacking in iron. Had it when I was twenty. Falling asleep like I had narcolepsy. If it’s an iron deficiency, usually it’s an easy fix. I can’t recommend dosage. That’s for your doctor. Hopefully, you can get it cleared up quickly so you can enjoy your Christmas.❤️🏄‍♀️

Hi. As well as the iron, have you had your b vitamin levels checked?

I also echo Wounded_Soldier's advice of seeing a doctor if you are worried about it. This is a very stressful time for everyone, so that might also be why you're having trouble.
