Having real trouble staying asleep

Intifada · 15-12-2014 09:54AM #1

Had trouble falling asleep most of my life, not so much these days on account of being absolutely exhausted all the time.

My problem is that I wake up 5-6 times a night. I am going to bed relatively early (8 hours worth) and waking up completely knackered. Like so tired I feel physically sick.

I get up around 7:30 in the morning for work, and I'm home around 18:30 and being so tired is making my job quite difficult as I need to be able to pay attention. In all seriousness I feel like I should be taking some time off because of this, but "i'm tired" is a pathetic excuse.

Temperature seems to be one concern. The room gets absolutely freezing at night, but I'm way too warm to get to sleep if I even wear socks going to bed.

Has your sleep improved? Mine has gone to pot! Very very restless nights lately; appetite gone also; feel nausea after meals I do eat so only picking food; have reduced my exercising due to reduced energy and caloric-intake.

Know where it's stemming from having so much on my mind. I do have 4-successive-days off this Sat->Tues incl so Hoping that'll help me get back on track and re-focus. Was off the last 3-days for my Late Loving Dads' 1st Anniversary so head's all over the place tbh.

How is your appetite? Are you exercising enough? Maybe too much on your mind - under pressures perhaps?
Just pondering,

I'm not a worrier. The only thing that stresses me is being unable to sleep!

I don't do any exercise but don't see the need since I'm always exhausted anyway.

Have a couple of weeks off now so looking forward to a few lie-ins.
