Hi anbuma,maybe if you post on the thyroid forum they might be able to help as I've thought that about myself and posted on there about whether I might have thyroid problems.They are very good on there with info about thyroid problems,adrenal fatigue,cortisol levels etc..xxx

Aww anbuma, sorry you're having sleep problems but it seems to me like a catch 22 situation you need to nap after lunch, which then makes it more difficult for you to sleep at night. I would be easy to say, don't nap in the afternoon and see what happens, but it's not as easy as that is it as sometimes your body dictates when you need to sleep. I wish I could offer something more positive, but you are not alone in the wide awake club at night, I regularly don't get to sleep until after 6.00 am and that is the same whether I've had a nap or not.......

Wishing you well

I thought I was alone with this sleeping and waking at odd hours! the number of times i've been awake all night only to sleep all through the following day. just exhausting. I really feel for you Anbuma. gentle hugs x
