Between spacticity, pain, headaches, and bladder control, sleep is definitely the most mentally straining things that keep me up at night or for days!
I have a terrible case of insomnia and find myself falling asleep many times throughout the day whether I want to or not. Fattius says it all for me- I have all of the same issues. Lately I've found I suffer from dizziness whenever I do wake up.
are you a teeth grinder?
I used to , but because of the meds I take I've lost all my teeth and wear dentures now -oooh purty thought ain't it lol
Come to think of it I wasn't able to get to sleep last night until 7 this morning then woke up 4 hours later. I'm with kdali - I'll be guarding my sleep like a lifeline... in other words Like a WARRIOR! An MS Warrior!
Yeah I have your issue.
You can try seeing a physician to prescribe sleeping meds if it’s really bothering you
I face the absolute opposite with an average sleep time of 9h - 9h 30. The good news is that it's the same as prior to O but now when I wake up, I'm ready to go through the day. Lethargy is mostly gone (until I overwork or overexercise).
I’ve had insomnia for all sorts of reasons. I can’t function on 4hrs of sleep, so I learned to guard my sleep like it was my lifeline. Most recently my insomnia episode has been related to reduced activity during the day from being sick, and I have to work hard before it’s going to get better. There’s a lot that can contribute to poor sleep hygiene and having a chronic debilitating disease makes it easier to not be able to have good sleep habits. I have to go now, it’s past my screen time limit already 😴
I take a Benadryl an hour before bed. It helps a lot.
I take 50 mg of trazadone.
I take ambien cr. It puts u to sleep and keeps u asleep with control released medicine. Its amazing stuff. I wud be toast without it. I went from no sleep to sleeping 9 hours without getting up to even pee.
My goodness, thank you all!Now solutions...Changing rooms helped a bit....decided id best sleep when I can....
