From postings I read, particularly this week, there are a lot of us out there that can't sleep. I've been awake since 2:30 a.m. which isn't unusual but it makes for a long day.....I can't nap during the day either. Today is especially stressful because I'm moving from one apt to another due to black mold in current apt.
I'm almost 65, live alone, suffered a heart attack and stroke late last year and am a Master of What If's ! Have folks set up to move me later in the day and have prepared as much as I can......luckily, since I'm just moving to adjacent apt I don't HAVE to have everything done in one day, but still, I can't stand chaos......even though I'm just moving to other side of the building everything will need to be touched at one point or another......
Have Rx for sleep but it causes some horrible dreams and a "hangover" feeling the next day I don't think it is worth it. Bought Advil PM this week but still haven't tried it...the real issue isn't falling asleep but staying asleep. Once I wake up I fret because I should be sleeping.....I feel your pain !
