Counting Sheep ~ The Importance of Sleep!

Ohh yes @AlwaysMyself the cpap does helps lots , I do get more sleep than hubby which is good

I haven’t been sleeping much lately @Shaz51 . It is a serious problem for me. Managed to snooze in the early hours and got another 1 1/2 hours. Still tired. Ripped out a pile of carrots and beetroots from garden. I don’t have the energy to trim and wash them atm. Decided to have the day off from sorting out my mania financial mess. Bought a pie and custard tart so I don’t have to cook lunch today.

@Shaz51 Hello lovely. How are you and Mr Shaz.

Did you catch the zoom about sleep?

Aww thank you @Cuddlebear

I will go find the link again and have another read xx

How is your day going

@Shaz51 Yes Take a look. Let me know what you think if you watch it.

My day is tragic and hard. I can hardly function. I’m sorry I have been unwell so long everyone must be sick of me saying it by now.

Sitting with you my awesome friend 🧡 @Cuddlebear , love you being here

@Jynx , @Lapis_Anteater

TY for the tag @Shaz51 💜

I don't think anyone is sick of it @Cuddlebear - because we know that you can't just magically get through the symptoms overnight, and you deserve to be able to keep connecting with the community as much as you like, and as long as you find it helpful!!

I can imagine that you yourself are probably sick and tired of feeling like this, so it's fair that maybe there's a little projection happening where your brain assumes that others would be sick and tired of it too. You don't owe us 'wellness', you can show up in this space as authentically as you want, even if that means you are showing up unwell and having a crappy time. We'll hold you regardless 😊💜

Hugs! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

@Cuddlebear i echo what Jynx said about being here for you, and not being sick of hearing about how hard it is for you. Please do keep telling me how hard it is for you, if having a listening ear to hear about it helps you. *big teddy bear hugs*

@Jynx @AlwaysMyself @Shaz51 @Cuddlebear @MedicinalGypsy sick of not sleeping properly. Had some deep sleep this morning at least. Still only 4 hours - now wide awake.

Ack, that's not nice for you @GezzaP ☹️.

Do you have any theory of why? (E.g. hypomania, anxiety, thoughts in mind, medication-related, sleep cycle out if whack...)

I hope you are able to get at least a short nap this morning to recharge your batteries a tad more, if needed.

I slept fairly ok. Managed to drift off to sleep within an hour of putting down my phone from here (how do i know? I dont recall my music album coming to an end lol). Still feel tired and woke at 630 though (pattern of waking for work days). But i can always have a nap after lunch if i need once i get home from my mid-morning outing.
