Sleep!!!

[lulubel]

I don't sleep well. I'm usually awake half the night, and then fast asleep when it's time to get up. Then tired all day.

I worked nights for about a year, then very random shifts for 3 years, and I think it totally messed up my sleep patterns. The rare nights when I go to bed, fall asleep and don't wake up until morning are very special and appreciated.

Well my GP has thought of a solution. She's prescribed a very low dose (approx 10th) of an anti-depressant which one of the (positive) side effects is to reduce neurological response from nerves (I've also read this myself). This is how the drug is now used these days. I just need to keep taking these, see if pain goes, then up the dose a little and see. Other side effect - it will make me sleep like a log. One before bedtime. zzzz

I suffer the same, cannot have a lie in, in some ways I like this as it makes for nice long weekends. Trouble is I feel a little sleepy early doors on Friday and Saturday nights so Thursday is a really early night, in fact last Thursday, it was 7.15pm slept right through to 6am!
