harp Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) My sleeping pattern is permanently fucked. I'm sleeping all day and staying up all night. I really wanna get it back on track, but I can't help it. If I can't sleep, I can't sleep, and if I can't stay awake, I can't stay awake no matter how hard I try, it's too painful. Period. What can I do about this? Edited October 28, 2009 by harp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetSue Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Maybe If you try doing activities of a day time to keep your mind and body active.Are you allowed out yet ?Even if its only in your garden, when you feel the tiredness get to you of a day time, get out into the fresh air. Before bed time, Have a relaxing bath, maybe do some reading after, or relaxation excercises. It may help.Have you spoke to your gp about this ?

Guest GingerSnap Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I agree with Jj. My older son did this for a while on purpose. You have to adjust back slowing maybe setting a goal to adjust one hour a day? Fresh air will give you a wake up especially now that it is getting colder. It will take some work and some time. Sleepy type teas help and are available at the grocery store - Celestial Seasons has one and it is in the tea section. Melatonin available over the counter and relatively inexpensive can help reset your "clock". The oak: These people on the forum are a great bunch of people, best on the internet. All you have to do is reach out and be respectful and you and your needs will be respected also. I just get the feeling you have needs other than your sleep pattern.

IrmaJean Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Maybe try waking yourself a half hour earlier each each night and turning in a half hour earlier. That way you can slowly turn things around. Do you have access to an alarm? JJ is right about getting yourself into a routine before bed too. That could be helpful. Good luck.
