Every night I wake up at 1am and can’t get back to sleep! I am exhausted all the time. So frustrating. Is this a lupus thing or a me thing?? lol

Who knows. I try getting up for 20-30 minutes and having tea. It works some of the time.

Waking up at 3 am happens to me a lot too. Which really sucks because I have to get up at 5am to get ready for work. I try to stay up when I get home (at 3pm), but it is either go to bed or only function on a few hours sleep. So frustrating!

You can never tell how it will go....sometimes i need to nap and can still go to bed and sleep for England as well...other times I keep going and still cant sleep. I can go to bed early because I cant keep my eyes open and only sleep for a short time. Xx

Depends when you go to sleep. I go to sleep at 1am and then i sleep well. If i go too early i toss and turn the whole night. I make sure im super sleepy before attempting to sleep
