I also cannot sleep at night even with sleeping pills, I have Hepetic Encepholothy which causes this, I usually stay up till between 3-5am and sleep during the day.

It's possible that you have sleep apnea, which could be making you tired during the day. Underactive thyroid can also cause fatigue, and both conditions are risk factors for fatty liver. A simple blood test (TSH) can tell you how well your thyroid is working, and you might want to talk to your doctor about getting a sleep study to see if you have apnea. Good luck!

I had throyd checked and sleep apnea test in hospital. My Liver Doctor said he has heard of this problem with Cirrhosis patients that also have hepatic encephalopathy.

Get room quiet, wear sleep mask to block out light. Set phone to play relaxing music or subliminal healing messages. Make a calming routine. I use trasodone but was on Ambien for years- Rx from Dr. Quality sleep is key to health and healing. Stop eating at least 2 hrs before bed.
