sleep

[Charlie90]

hi everyone

Sorry it’s me again

just wondering if anyone else can relate

So I am lucky enough to honestly get 10-12 hours of sleep each night

As by 8pm I can’t keep my eyes open

Wake up around 9am for tablets work etc.

some mornings I will wake up and feel dreadful like I haven’t slept at all

I track it all using my Fitbit which shows me that I slept for 10-12 hours

I feel Like I could sleep for another few days sometimes when I wake up

I fully understand all about neurological fatigue

but SURELY 10-12 hours is enough sleep for my brain to be rested and reboot itself in the morning?!

does any one else experience anything similar?

Yep, that's me! For the last 10 years or so - even before BI. Frustrating but can't seem to find anything to help. I do have to jump in the shower to wake me up and keep repeating to myself that I have "slept" for 9/10/11 hours

I wake up as tired as I went to bed. 😏

Yep, so easy and feels good getting that sleep. But the hours are moving forward on Sunday so that maybe help as winter has a lot to do with excessive sleep.

Retrain brain with routine, get up and wash and Try to fo things like walk or exercise or puzzles using brain then lunch then do other things etc.

It is hard and sounds easy and on the days that we have fatigue, so easy to say rest.

Hope the clocks moving forward helps you.

Your brain is healing when it is asleep, so it is still pretty

busy, even if you aren't aware of it.

Certainly for the fist 10 or 12 years I slept a lot.

The last while I have had insomnia and decided to try

acupuncture and I find it helps the fatigue.

If you want to try it, look for something called

'Community acupuncture' near you - everyone is in a big

room with recliners and so the cost is 25 to 45 ish on a

sliding scale, instead of the insane cost of a private

treatment. I have been going 2 or 3 times a week for

about two weeks.

You wear short sleeves and make sure you can roll up your

trouser legs or wear shorts, and socks off. They seem

To be able to get to enough points to get the job done.

Good morning again Charlie, we really must stop meeting like this 😉

Post accident for close on 20 years when I put my head on the pillow there was nothing, absolutely nothing until I woke around 10 hours later.

After my comfortable little life got badly shaken up 5 years ago my sleep has become very disturbed from time to time. I know my head is very busy though I have no idea what’s going on in there, regularly I wake in fear, occasionally terror. I try to refuse to wake and take no notice but it ain't easy, especially as the result is usually being absolutely knackered for the day.

Just another thing I am trying to get answers to from any direction I can think of.

Best wishes

Michael

Yes I sleep lots too so sounds like it's not unusual. Yet still feel tired and yawn big style. Hoping it's just part of a temporary dip and am looking forward to more sunlight too. Just taking a day at a time 🙂
