xxSRMxx Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Ever since me and my bf have split up, , my sleeping routine is unreal!! I gather others are like this?? I either sleep too long, or not enough... How did you snap out of it? Im thinking of going to the drs, its affecting me getting up in the morning and i just feel groggy. I drag myself out the house for work/socialising and college but other than that I could spend all bloody day in bed and not care :/ Wish I could sleep soundly at night, wish i didnt wake up and feel crap and feel crap the second before i go to sleep aswell.
january2011 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Oh yes, I remember this. Structure, exercise and plenty of daytime activities helped me. A warm bath and night-time routine also worked well. My guess is that you're probably tossing and turning and that's why you're waking up feeling groggy - you're not getting restful sleep. With time and self-care, it should be less of a problem as your emotions and thoughts stabilise. If you're really concerned, then yes, perhaps a doctor might help, if only to relieve your anxiety and rule out any health issues.
Gulf-Delta Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Go to a doc. Seriosuly. Sleep is probably one of the MOST important bodily functions. If you can't sleep, you won't be able to think clearly enough to get over your ex. Your sleep also affects your appetite... Don't mess around with sleep issues.

Svet74 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Yeah i had the same problem for a long time! Would go to sleep at 11 and wake up the next morning at like ten. It was awful but sleeping was the only way of me not thinking About my ex. As for not waking up in the middle of the night. Sometimes I took half of a Zanex to knock me right out. But I don't recommend any sleeping medication. Not good for your health and can be addicting
polish26 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Instead of seeking prescription drugs you should try GABA, L-Theanine, Busy Brain release, or 5htp... or you can do all of them like me... These are natural supplements that do the same as all those prescription drugs and are naturally occurring in the brain. I did the anti-depressant path at the beginning and then slowly discovered these, and since then I haven't looked back. I still sometimes struggle for focus but I hope this information helps you just as much as it has helped me. I wish you the best, and I hope for the best for you!
