Why is my sleep pattern so variable??

[Suzyfibro54]

I woke up after going to bed at 05:00am, normalish time for me. It helps having my partner in Florida. I normally get up around 10:00am of 11:000am. 4-5 Hours sleep!

But if I go to bed say 11:00pm, I will be asleep until 2:00am. Why can I not Have to fight for sleep? Perhaps if I was in the States with Barry, I might be ok? xx

HI suzy,

Do you take anything to help you sleep hun?

I had horrible sleep patterns two years ago, i used to be awake constantly in bed then day came and all i wanted to do was sleep, but still couldnt manage anymore than half an hour.

I begged my gp to do something as i had kids and i was no use to them. She tried me on amitriplyn and it helps me so much.

Its not alright for everybody and somepeople i have heard it doesnt work atall.

I hope you find something that helps as its horrible not sleeping, you can join diddles club, as she never sleeps.

hugs, kel xxxx

Hi suzy,

I am on 75mg of amitriplyn, it must be hard work taking it and it not working.

I do hope you find somethiing too.

I like vodka lol. Yes i do have few weekends where vodka is needed too and i wake up every morning with a hangover anyway so a proper hangover doesnt affect me any worse lol.
