Its depression. Exercise each morning at 5 am, you'll sleep and you'll feel better, also, eat vegetables, and get sun in your eyes for at least 20 minutes everytime it rises.

Naps. Bring back naptime.
CogYang
Yep. Have had this feeling for a while now. Sleep has become more of a "necessary time for unconsciousness" rather than a time to rest

I down alcohol to help, not good for my liver, but melatonin started off having an odd taste

Sleep debt. If you need eight hours but you only get seven, by time you get to the weekend, you're five hours behind. Sleep in an extra hour on Saturday and Sunday, and you're still three hours behind on Monday morning.

Currently the sleep is being cooked out of me. I can't bloody sleep with the heatwave going on here.
laurapede83
Trade you places, it's cold, wet and very windy here, making my bones hurt.
BackToTheOriginalUsername
Honestly, if i could i would. I already don't function well in summer in normal time but heatwave are taking a toll on me.

That's because you confuse that sleep with fatigue. I can't tell you what causes this fatigue - I can only point out that it's not sleep you are in need of.

Normal people: Awake -> tired -> sleep -> Awake again. Me: sleepy all day > suddenly awake and full of energy as the sun sets > sleeps anyway because it's time > totally tired the next morning.

You are a night guard. Me too, friend. Modern society isn't meant for us. My advice used to be "get a night job" but the ones that require little experience (retail - stocking/inventory) don't pay very well.
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
If you're willing to get your CDL *plenty* of trucking companies love night drivers, especially in food service or reefer jobs. You can be sponsored to go to school too so it's no cost out of pocket. Not for everyone though, but it is a job that certainly doesn't mind night owls and is entry level.
jamiedBreaker
Oh yes, excellent advice! I had forgotten that a lot of trucking companies nowadays will sponsor a CDL.

It is crazy I can barely sleep during the week but on weekends I can sleep like 20 hours a day without even trying
GravyEducation
I work best 24 hours on and 12 off. Good luck telling society that.
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
That's actually diagnosable, mate. It's called non-24 and occurs primarily in blind people, but I've got it myself and while I'm 'holy shit those coke bottle glasses' kind of blind I am *not* light/dark insensitive. For me it's just my brain doing weird brain shit and refusing to send the sleep signal on the usual 24 hour pattern. I spent over a decade bouncing between uppers and downers to 'make it work' until doc gave me a sleep med for the PTSD insomnia and now I schedule my naps.
GravyEducation
I have read of studies on it by people doing research in caves. Without natural light, they adopted that cycle.

I have stitches in my chest and cant sleep on my stomach like I normally do, so I don't feel like I got any sleep

I have a folder just for lack of sleep ...

If this is happening to you, get yourself checked out for Sleep Apnea. That's what it ended up being for me.
copperdomebodhi
Same over here. Always tired? Snore? Wake up with a dry mouth when you haven't been partying? Wake up gasping for air? Headaches in the morning? Ask your doctor if you should get a sleep study. Friend's son stopped breathing in his sleep and he never started again.
EmeraldLight
Been checked. Don't have it. Still can't go to sleep easily, stay asleep, or have a restful sleep.
Chronic fatigue syndrome suuuuuucks
SoItGoesQuarantineEdition
Best thing I ever did. I don’t snore, but have apnea. Changed everything for me.
kahooki
Did.
Don't have.
Still sleepy.

What did you do or what treatment were you given for speed apnea?
jackpkmn
For me it was CPAP. CPAP is a machine that pumps air into your lungs to pressurize your airways to keep them open. The pressurized air itself holds your airways open and then you still do the breathing manually. It's very strange feeling when you first do it. And a lot of people fall off the treatment because they can't get used to it and have to try and do something else.
Caliban1972
I went through several treatments and sleep studies. I have sleep apnea aggravated by other issues. At first the treatment was a CPAP, but apparently I'm very sensitive to thing interfering with my airflow and it just gave me nightmares about being suffocated.
Then I had nasal surgery to fix a deviated septum, which helped some, and now I use a type of dental retainer when sleeping that holds my jaw in a different position that gives better airflow through my nose and throat.
MelfsAcidArrow
A MAD?
Caliban1972
I also use those nasal strips that hole your nostrils open wider while you sleep. But the biggest difference has been losing weight and avoiding foods that trigger my acid reflux. I still have sleep apnea, but it's mostly under control now, except when I get depressed and put on weight, until I can get it under control again.
justareallylongemailaddress
Real question, do you actually feel like you get to sleep? I ask because I have to lay there for 3 ish hours then get some wine to take me over the edge. It is shitty sleep, but I try and it doesn't work in conjunction with limiting media and journaling.

Try melatonin. Works for me, changed my life
MattoJanai
Everyone is different but from my experience, alcohol makes me fall asleep faster but makes sleep worse. The one thing that helped me the most is having a consistent wake time. I work at 6am. Even on my days off I still get up early. Some days when I'm tired I will sleep in a bit but I try not to. I do genuinely feel well rested even though I'm waking up early. It also helps my body get to bed earlier. Melatonin is also great in a pinch but try to only use it when needed
MattoJanai
Also this takes time. You'll feel like shit for the first few weeks. Also also I'm not a doctor I'm just telling you what worked for me. If you have the ability to, you definitely should see a doctor. My life was greatly improved just by getting real rest
ImperfectDad
My wife had bad sleep apnea and started using a CPAP and it worked great. She never had problems falling asleep but just wanted to sleep all the time, felt tired all day. CPAP fixed that.
I, on the other, suffer from frequent insomnia but I'm also paranoid so I started using a sleep app to make sure I breath all night (just in case). I find on many occasions, I lay there for three hours without sleeping... only to check the sleep app and find I was snoring part of that time. Brains are weird.
Caliban1972
It's still hit and miss for me. I have a regimen I go through before going to bed now that helps, but not always. Sleep issues can be complicated, and even after you've identified the causes it can be hard to fix. Too much caffeine intake, being overweight, a deviated septum, a stressful lifestyle, smoking, acid reflux/GERD - all can contribute to varying degrees depending on the person.
copperdomebodhi
When you can't sleep, that's insomnia. Sleep apnea is when you stop breathing in your sleep. It can happen many, many times an hour. You wake up just long enough to catch your breath - not long enough to remember it in the morning.
BreadGoneBad
Had to start on Quetiapin to find sleep. I still have nights where getting over the edge is impossible. Melatonin does nothing for me.
KaptainObveeus
I take quetiapine and melatonin, the combo seems to work better than just quetiapine
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
Doc gave me clonidine, which is a frigging blood pressure med, and it is like installing a light switch. I take that and I *will* be asleep within the next two hours (usually an hour unless I fight it) and it will *not* be my decision. Med kicks in and I am *out* on any flat surface, be it horizontal *or* vertical. It's great though because after years of PTSD insomnia I kinda built my life around 'fuck if I know when the next nap is' so now I schedule the nap instead of it scheduling me.
BreadGoneBad
I really wish the quetiapine worked like that. I get really groggy and basically sound like I'm drunk, but I doesn't knock me out. But it let's me find sleep if I do all the other stuff right. Good sleep hygiene only helps for me if I'm also on those pills. I hope it changes, but I'm 35 now, and it's been here most of my life, so I doubt it.
MelfsAcidArrow
Melatonin actually makes me hyper. It’s gross. So does Benadryl.
justareallylongemailaddress
Do you have ADHD? I ask because there is a well documented paradoxical reaction to some drugs like Benadryl. IDK if melatonin is in the same category.
MelfsAcidArrow
Nah it’s an antihistamine thing.
