Is anyone else's sleep really horrible right now?

  • Yes. But my sleep is always horrible, however the last couple of weeks it has been worse, I think due to the heat and personal stresses in my life (neighbour noise especially).

    Last week my sleep deprivation was so bad that I became non-functional during the day. It was like I was drunk. I couldn't remember anything, confused all the time, no concentration, and weirdly many inhibitions disappeared. Consecutive nights of falling asleep after 3am, then 4am, then 5am start to add up.

    I've been thinking about trying a weighted blanket because I do find the thicker duvet in winter seems to aid me. But right now I'm too hot, I have the thinnest duvet possible or a sheet and most of the time it's not covering me because I'm too hot, but I find it almost impossible to fall asleep without something on top of me.

  • I know how you feel--it's awful. One day I had to go to work on 30m of sleep---I thought I'd collapse. I got back on a thyroid support supplement too--in case the sleep is related to the endocrine system and I try to eat turkey as my main source of meat. My husband & I joked about a coffin, if my brother hadn't bullied me & left me in of these things or if I didn't have a fear of being left inside----it might be the perfect thing to sleep in if it was temp controlled. lol I hear you with noisy neighbors--we've asked ours to chill on "honking their horn." Their daughter does it EVERY AM at 7:30. I wake up at 9am most days, but they are just really crappy neighbors & our neighborhood shoots fireworks....year round. My birthday's coming up & my nerves get shot from the near-entire month of fireworks. We find them in our gutters---I call it "ear trespassing." lol
