Sleep Deprived

I am soooo tired today. I think I got about 4 hours if that of sleep last night. Just not able to get to sleep then when I do I wake up and can't go back to sleep. Wondering if I should go back to sleep clinic or just try Melatonin???

I had trouble getting to sleep last night but eventually I did. I have sleep apnea and use a bipap. Are you currently using anything for sleep apnea (if you have it)?

When geeting approved with the sleep study they told me I had mile case of apnea I was supposed to go back to get c pap but never did. Silly me..thought that when I lost weight my sleep apnea would improve.

I think your apnea should get better as you lose weight. I never had sleep apnea before I put on most of my weight. Using a cpap or bipap makes a *huge* difference though.

Hi Juanita! I know I had sleep apnea before surgery but as far as I know, it is no longer. It is possible that you do have sleep apena but I would assume one of the symptoms is not waking up and not being able to go back to sleep. Usually, you may wake up when you stop breathing but can go back to sleep. Have you been stressed more than usual lately or changed your sleeping schedule? Maybe something else is going on causing you now to be able to sleep through the entire night. Hopefully you will be able to go to bed early tonight and catch up on your missed sleep! Misty

Hey Misty! It was great to meet you at the protein party.. I guess I have been stressed at work trying to move up and seem to be stuck. It gets really frustrating. Just had a schedule change as well. I used to be off wed and thurs and that is when I would work out. Now I work mon-fri and have weekends off and have been going to work out after work usually around 5:30- 6:00. This is probably the issue. By the way if you have any pics in your ph or you could send me if you give me your sign in for OH I could try to put it in your avatar. Then you could always change your password afterwards. Thanks for your reply to my post!

Yeahh Misty you have a pic now!!

Juanita, Have you had a recent change in your diet or excercise schedule? I know sometimes if I have one of the protein bullets too close to bedtime, I have difficulty getting to sleep or if I excercise late at night this affects my sleep as well. I sure hope you get this resolved soon, if not I would contact your PCP, because this can throw your entire body off. Shelia

I have had schedule change as I told Misty and think this plays a big part in my problem. Now working out later than I used to. Maybe I just have to adjust. I appreciate your reply! You feeling better?

I am still not feeling great today and decided to stay home today to get some additional rest and hopefully I will be able to return to work tomorrow. Thanks for asking and hopefully you will get some rest soon as well!!!
