Sleepless Nights

girllikeu2 · 10-07-2013, 05:13 PM

OMG. It seems that as I get older I do NOT sleep anymore (though my body screams for sleep). Stress is definitely a factor but not the whole story. I blame it all on peri-menopause (which makes all stress seem INSURMOUNTABLE!) Love to my people who suffer with me through 3 AM wake ups for no darn good reason.

I am not having trouble going to sleep, but staying asleep has become nearly impossible. Low blood sugar wake ups, shaking sweating and delusional...unable to go back to sleep. The max dose of Lipitor, awake at 4 am and no hope of getting back to sweet dreams... I already look like near death due to the heart atack, add no sleep and i scare small children.

Different than your issues i guess, but i will be darned if i'm taking yet another pill just to sleep! How do you all go BACK to sleep when you wake up?
