Sorry are going through this. Being tired can have so many effects on your well being. Have no fear there is help. Self-help!!! I have been through this myself. You need to look at your sleeping patterns. What you are eating, what are you are doing before sleep. I would keep a journal each day about what you are doing and when you sleep. This will show you what is going on and what you are doing. Don’t cheat or do anything differently. Track exactly as you are doing now.
1. You need to cut out naps if you take them. You need to find how much sleep you need. Be it 6 or 8 hours. Then you need to go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day. I know this can be tough, but you can make slight adjustments. Sleeping is a pattern. Your body responds to that. You have to make it one. It will not happen overnight. Habits take 30 days to instill. Sleeping is no different.
2. Look at what you are eating. Make sure you don’t eat too late or drink caffine. Certian foods and of course caffine will affect your sleep cycle. Make a cut off a few hours before your bedtime. Follow a healthy diet.
3. Exercise. Get outside. Get fresh air. Move your body. Join a gym. Buy a treadmill. Something. Work those hips!!!!! This will help your body relax and tire.
4. Take a hot bath before bed. This helps your body calm. Your muscles relax and you can prepare for sleep.
5. Take the TV out of your bedroom. Learn to sleep in the quiet dark. This is hard for many, but again it is patterns and habits. This was the most helpful for me.
6. When you wake up, don’t stress. Take your mind somewhere postive and roll right back over. DO NOT GET UP.
7. Tweak and learn your body!!!
I have followed all of this myself. I have no problems sleeping now. For me diet, exercise and set sleeping schedule with no TV were the most important.
Sleep apnea has more symptoms than just racing thoughts.
This is a patterned cycle. You have to break it and be determined. Again, habits take 30 days to form. Make some new habits.
Occasionally Benedryl works wonders too!!!

You and I have talked much about light therapy. I told you what it has done for me. The answerers are correct when they tell you about this. I happened upon this by accident, but it has does wonders for me. I even do it in my office now. Although I have a window. Light therapy is a great!
