Unable To Sleep In The Day Any More

[Julie63]

Hi, don't know if anyone has ever been unable to have their afternoon nap? Has it helped you sleep better at night if you didn't sleep in the day? I have been soo tired I have been trying to have a morning nap as well as my afternoon nap, as well as going to bed early & having a lie in! But, I just end up frustrated, unable to drop off. Then at night, I only get a half decent night's sleep after three or four nights of not sleeping.

I'm soo tired! I've done two jobs today - that was clean the sinks in the upstairs & downstairs loo, & that was because I couldn't stand looking at the gunk any longer - & the washing is piling up too. But I'm just too tired to crack on with any housework.

Why can't I sleep in the day any more?!

Hi Julie

Sometimes sleep wins and there is nothing to do but relax and let it happen.. I am a believer in my afternoon restorative nap it helps me through the day and helps me at night though I only sleep between 11.00 and 3.00 but that is good You must just relax and hopefully your sleep will come practicing deep breathing will help well a gentle relaxing rhythm. Sleep well xgins

Thanks gins. Guess it's just a matter of giving it more time, it will happen eventually........ I'll just have to keep practising the breathing & relaxation techniques I learnt at my fibro physio course. At least I'll be relaxing more!!

Cheers gins, hope you had a restful night,
