Re: What's wrong

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't been sleeping well. I work second shift, so being up until 2 or 3 a.m. isn't unusual, but save for maybe a week spread out over the past month and a half, I've had wicked insomnia where I either can't get to sleep or I can't stay asleep.

Last night, for instance, I slept for about an hour at 3 a.m., but then I woke up at 4, too mentally exhausted to actually do anything but unable to sleep until about 10. After which I was dead to he world for 5 hours, and if this weren't my weekend I'd have been screwed because I slept through my alarm and didn't wake up until an hour and a half after I would have been expected at work.

I've actually been late to work three times for this very reason (once by an hour on a day that I was the boss). So I need to figure that shit out.

That sucks, I'm so sorry!! Is the second shift a new schedule, or has something happened recently to mess with your sleep schedule?

Re: What's wrong

Nope, I've been second shift for eight years now.

I'm going to try getting more exercise and see if for some reason that lack has decided all of a sudden to be what's keeping me up. Also adjusting my caffeine consumption. But if this shit carries into September, I'm talking to a doctor.

Those sound like very smart plans! I don't know if you can fall asleep with noises going, but for me, having something pretty steady playing, like a podcast that I don't care too much about, can really help me to nod off quickly when I want to. Lets my mind take a break and my focus wander a bit, which is half the battle, for me.

God, insomnia is the WORST. It truly does make life a pain in the ass because it throws you off in basically every conceivable way. I'm sorry this is happening to you. :/ Hopefully you can work out what is causing it, or it'll fix itself. (Sooner rather than later.)

I go through periods like that too (where at most I sleep for a couple hours, or I'm waking up what feels like 15 times a damn night) but rarely do they last over a month. I think I'd see a doc, tbh... It would be worth it, I think.

The only thing I can think of on the advice front is: I've heard if you have trouble sleeping you should get up, have a small snack, maybe read for a little bit and try to go back to bed. I never eat once I've went to bed though, and while I do sometimes read when I wake up in the middle of the night, sometimes that ends with me reading three hours straight before I try to go back to sleep. So... Yea. Not sure how good that plan is.

Good luck!
