Sleep

[blessedmomof5]

Would be nice if i could.....i have been up since 3 am 4 1/2 hrs, thats not enough......
i think i need to talk to the dr....i can get to sleep but i cannot stay asleep, and i wake up with all this energy...ugh.
anyone else have this happen to them?

Sounds like me. It's a sign of stress and worry. After I wake up around 3 am I force myself to stay in bed and totally relax my body until it's time to get up. I don't get up at 3 am because I don't want my body getting used to it and let the whole thing become a habit.
Also I don't allow myself to worry during that time. Praying helps a lot.
I'm not a doctor, but after reading up on this, I think it may also be a perimenopausal thing.

Yeah...4.5 hrs isn't enough...It's been a challenge to get more sleep with me because sleeping has not been a priority up until 3 months ago. Things work in your body to repair, recover, rebuild while you are sleeping and one should get 6 hrs minimum.

Last night I went to sleep at 11 pm and woke at 4:30 am. That 5.5 and close to 6, but did not meet the 6 hrs. I wanted to make myself go back to sleep, but I was wide awake and not sleepy. That happens often.

Do you nap? If so, don't. I did take a 45-60 min. nap yesterday. Do a tougher workout? Read.

I'm often very wired and energized...yes, I know what you're talking about Denise....
