MNDA and Sleep - Deffo not about early rising!

[LindaB]

I've turned back time to being a toddler....I need three naps a day 👶

Fatigue is probably my biggest issue at this point😴

[Ellie]

Must get back to doing exercise ... Maybe today!

😂😂 ... or maybe tomorrow 🤭 😘😘

Ellie No, no pulmonary tests, as far as i know! richard My husband won't let me drive very far at all - he is a worrier by nature and believes i will run out of energy or fall asleep at the wheel. Odd, since he is the one who naps during the day - not me!

Sarahw I certainly have less energy. Gave our study a careful vacuum clean, using the thin sucker for the edges etc - i was worn out afterwwards!!

Must get back to doing exercise - usedd to do Pilates once a week and several days folllowing you tube exercise people. Maybe today!

I often forget that tiredness can be a symptom and I resent the fact that I have less energy. Fortunately I love my bed!

I get good days and tired or rather lethargic days. I understand though this is common. Today’s a tired day as I was out for seven hours on Friday with three hours driving and yesterday for five hours with two hours of driving.

So today is a stay at home and do nothing day 😀

Lovely to hear from you Evelyn!

... I felt very strange; neither awake of good.

Just wondering if you've had any pulmonary tests recently?

Hope everything goes well for you on Tuesday 🤞🤞 😘

Most of my life I have slept really well. When I needed to get up for work, I never enjoyed it, but once out of bed for a few minutes, I would feel fine.

These days, since I gave up my part-time work, I sleep for up to 10 hours a night. I have always slept a long time, when here was no reason to get up, and sort of assumed it was because I am a lazy person. I never imagined I needed such a long sleep.

However, last Friday, I had to get up at 08:30 to open our garden gate for the lawn people. Had slept under 8 hours, but expected to feel fine after getting up, going outside and opening the gate. To my surprise, as I walked back indoors, I felt very strange; neither awake of good. Made the unexpected realisation that now, I NEED even more sleep!

Next Tuesday I will need to get up at 07:00 for a particular job – if my sleep need is correct, I will need to go to bed by 21:00!!!! That has only ever happened when I get a migraine, and I am certainly not wishing one of those to arrive!

Wish me luck!!!
