Hello my name is Viv i know how you feel about sleep because i am same . Some nights i sleep but that is rare. I cannot get to sleep some nights others i get to sleep but after an hour i`m awake. Two nights ago i slept through the night and woke at 9.15am i could not believe it. I have sleeping pills pain killers but i can`t go to bed and know i will sleep sorry i am of little use to you but i want you to know you are not alone i get up make hot drink watch tv and go back just don`t get stressed about it. Look after yourself.
Thank you...I might be sleep at 9 ..but I'm awake at 1....2....I'm up then ...eating tea toast doing bit around the house.....then by 5 I'm off back up the stairs but I do.nt sleep just put TV on .......my body clock all out
My husband has a sleep pattern like you. He is exhausted but only gets about 2 hours sleep and then he is awake again. Trying Kalms tonight, a herbal remedy, the pharmacist thinks it will be ok. He is really tired all day and doesn't want to do anything.
Same as You!!! Have had a 2am wake up for so long - through surgery, chemo and radio and still now. I get pain around that time and also hot sweats due to enforced menopause casued by surgery. I think it is an overactive mind too. My Dr prescribed very mild sleeping tablets so that when I woke up at 2am I would take two and yes I would then go back to sleep. It did work but I did not get another prescription and take stuff for the pain now and that does help. Do not get sttressed about waking up at 2am and if you can get a quick nap in the day as you need sleep but I would speak to your GP about short term non addictive help. Good luck
