I have the same problem. I come home from dialysis totally drained and have to sleep through the afternoon. Then of course I cannot sleep at night. Even on a non dialysis day I can only sleep for small blocks, some as short as 30 minutes, then lie awake for hours, until it is time to get up. I seem to spend my li d e trying to catch up on sleep. It's exhausting
hi best to ask specialist maybe sensitivity
Kidney disease itself will give you insomnia. On the other hand dialysis actually makes your heart & body tired (drained of energy) so 6 to 8 hours of sleep should not be an issue. Try talking to your nephrologist about this problem.
Im managing plenty of sleep but only for about 90 mins without waking up.
